Plus, as a client, we take the time to see you for who you are, get you camera-ready, and never rush through the photoshoot.

We See You For Who You Are

Dancers are trained to see ALL of their flaws and are rarely praised for their positive attributes… so insecurity is rampant throughout the dance world. We create a super safe space for them to explore and express themselves. “Oh my god! I didn’t know I could look like that!?” and “that’s me!?!?” are common phrases we hear during shoots.

We Get You Camera-Ready

Most dancers don’t know how to be in front of the camera, and it creates a lot of anxiety where there’s a lot of fear, and it’s validated because they don’t know how to work in front of the camera and know their angles. You have to develop that skill, and that's another reason why our clients love the experience of shooting with us. We use our proven method to remove all anxiety and get you camera-ready.

We Make Time To Get To Know You

There's nothing worse than being rushed through a professional photoshoot. Each of our clients is a priority; because we treat them as such, you'll never feel rushed. Each photoshoot highlights your strengths as a dancer and prepares you for the next stage in your career. You'll remember this experience for the rest of your life.

Meet Rachel Neville

She founded Rachel Neville Studios in 2014 after she retired from her dancing career. With a degree in photography, she built up her shooting experience before setting up her own studio and pursuing full-time dance photography as her niche.

In the modern digital age, attention-grabbing photos are essential as they show a dancer's technique in great detail. Photos like the ones you're seeing today can help you stand out during audition submissions when you only have seconds to grab the director's attention.

The studio offers two types of shoots: audition and creative. While the audition shots are an investment in a dancer's portfolio, the creative shots allow the dancer and the photographer to shine on a different level as they combine artistic ideas with striking poses and movement.

The process for creative shots starts with a detailed questionnaire that is used to learn more about each dancer's ideas. Some come with a fully fleshed-out mood board, while others entirely trust both photographers' vision. For example, the studio is known for its work with fabric and colored backgrounds, so some dancers may also lean towards incorporating those elements in their creative shoots.

Where Are We Located & What's The Price?

These are two of the most important questions for new clients.

We are located in Queens, New York, right on Borden Ave. Over 80% of our clients are from other cities because they see the value in having a photo shoot that can give them a clear advantage in their dancing careers.

The cost varies, and that's why we offer a free photoshoot consultation. During our conversation, we'll be able to distinguish your objectives and give you a quote so you know exactly what to expect.
