During his many years as a Fashion Photographer in Europe, Asia and the US, Beau Nestor discovered the best photographic and runway models had always studied Dance and had rarely graduated from modeling schools. Realizing that many of the elements of the Dance were easily transferred to the modeling industry, Beau pursued more artistic photography with dancers because of their poise, grace, balance and stagecraft.

 

Beau's wife Gayle, an abstract and impressionist painter, is inspired by the colour, mood and and movement. Gayle's background is in the advertising and publishing industry in the US, where she has been involved in graphical layout and design.

 

ModelDancer.com is a website that promotes the dancers' abilities to communicate emotionally with beauty and poise.

 

Rather than capture the 'stage performance images', we work with the dancers, students, their teachers and the studios to capture elements of the dance in less formal surroundings, often on location or in rehearsal space, to capture mood and energy. Naturally, we require the involvement of the studios and teachers while we are working, and will not photograph students without a parent present, or a parental release to the studio/school. 

 

We collaborate with the industry's professionals to provide a wide range of graphical material for both your in-house and student use. This means that we are able to provide:

 

• -Photosets for individuals - in CD, Print or folio formats
• -Photosets for the schools and studios for their promotional and archival use
• -Yearbooks for individual students and dancers.
• -Collective yearbooks for the schools and studios - perfect for promotion purposes
• -Individualized calendars for students with pre-highlighted dates and studio details
• -Poster photography, layout, design and production for schools and studios
• -Website design, layout and implementation for schools and studios
