Caught the cheerleaders and jazz dancers at a boys basketball game. Lots of fun to photograph, as always, but not easy. Their routines don’t last long so you need to have your exposure on the money because you won’t have much time to fiddle with it. Also, for most of their routines, they’re spread out across the floor so you’ll need a wide lens...

It’s always fun to photographer cheerleaders and dancers. I think most photographers would say the same thing. Not an assignment that gets turned down a lot.

Makes for an interesting perspective, but you need to be...

It’s tough to photograph them while shooting a basketball game because I’m up in the stands swapping my lights from one side of the court to the other, and that takes up most of the halftime. Photographing the cheerleaders was tough this year. We seem to have a lot more...

This was “one of those days” for both the Commack football team and me. Things just didn’t go our way. I came back with only 50 decent photos, and a lot of those were of the marching band, kick line, and cheerleaders. And it wasn’t that I was shooting badly; I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time for a lot of the shots. Hey, it happens....
