OLIVIA WALLIS JACKSON PHOTOGRAPHY

Learn about my Shoots.

I offer a variety of shoots for dance artists, choreographers and companies, to meet various needs, wants and briefs. Using a Nikon D7’100 I capture dancers and choreographers organically, in the studio, on stage or on location. My background as a dance artist allows me to move seamlessly around performance and rehearsal spaces without disturbing the creative process and on location I utilise improvisation to get beautiful results perfect for portfolios and social media.

My shoots can be tailored to your requirements documenting classes, rehearsals, creative processes and behind the scenes of performances or dance films. Additionally, on location shoots offers dancers the chance to have their individual style captured through photography. In these shoots I collaborate with my clients through movement direction to photograph their improvisation creating stunning images.

Yu-Chien (a young female Taiwanese Dancer) is captured mid-movement. Her eyes are closed and head is lifted upwards, where the light hits her face. Her arms are by her side and body is curved slightly away from camera.

Testimonials.

"I feel very grateful that I had my first official photoshoot with Olivia! Her soothing yet secure guidance made me feel free to move, and to be myself throughout the whole session. Her perspective is truly unique and her ability to express her artistry through her lens it really outstanding. When I saw the final result I was honestly so positively surprised because I couldn't have imagined a better outcome than the one Olivia saw and created."

“Olivia is phenomenal! Not only did I feel safe within the public setting that we were shooting but she also ensured I felt comfortable at all times. The day was well organised and there was a clear structure, going to picturesque locations all within walking distance from one another. Olivia’s professional yet personable nature made communication easy throughout the shoot as well as creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend if you’d like some great shots!”

"Olivia was committed to upholding a high professional standard in both her communication and in producing the photographs. She required minimal guidance and understood, interpreted and implemented our creative intentions into her vision, but remained open to creative conversation and tailoring the shoot around our requirements. I’d highly recommend Olivia for capturing movement; including rehearsal, production and promotional shoots. An incredibly versatile photographer."

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Olivia. She managed to capture moments of the performance, encapsulating the intense emotions and movement qualities of the dancers in still images. The images taken by Olivia are valuable documentation of the performance."
