Ashkan Image photographs dance companies, studios and conservatories in Houston and nationwide. Season campaign images, roster headshots, live performance coverage and promo video are planned together and produced by one crew, so everything a company publishes in a season looks like it belongs to the same company.
Season campaign photography
The images that carry a season: posters, brochures, the website, press and social. We plan the concepts with your artistic and marketing teams, then photograph in our Houston studio with a full cyclorama wall, designed lighting and wardrobe support. Group work, duets and solo images can be produced in the same visit.
Company headshots and dancer portraits
Headshots for the full roster, photographed to one standard so the company page reads as a set. Individual artistic portraits for each dancer can be added in the same visit. Send us the roster size and we plan the schedule around your rehearsal day.
Live performance photography
We photograph the performance from the house, from a position agreed with your production team, and arrive ahead of curtain to set up. Tell us the venue and the running time and we plan the coverage around them.
Promo video and reels
Season trailers, performance reels and behind-the-scenes pieces, filmed by our in-house video team. Photo and video can be produced in the same session, so the look of the campaign carries across every format.
