As a dance photographer I get in there with my clients and mode their greatness! I want them to look as great as they train and because I am a trained dancer I know the tools they need to look their best in front of the lens.

Akanke recently joined CATALYST, a program I collaborate with, which is a partnership between @terminusmbt and @dancecanvas. This initiative offers mentorship, resources, and career support to Black Ballet dancers on a career track. I’m thrilled to be involved as a partner of CATALYST, supporting the development of the upcoming generation of dancers.

Yall…for a while now, this idea has been close to my heart. My dear friend Charity CB Metzger pushed and pushed me to bring it to life. After numerous reshoots, we've finally reached this point. Huge thanks to Angela Harris for invaluable assistance with the crucial details; this wouldn't have been possible without you. Special appreciation to my resilient dancers, Tyla Howell and Summer McNeill, for enduring a a challenging shoot. Your strength is commendable! A big shout-out to my graphic artist, Allen Diamond, for the timeless design.

This is the inaugural phase of Bronze in First posters. More posters are on the horizon. What genre should I do next? If you'd like to support, please tag or share this with educators, dancers, dance studios, dance company, colleges, dance conferences, festivals, organization, and even Misty Copeland... These tools should reach every child.

I am a fan of location shoots so you know the @georgiaaquarium has been on my list. So…guess who got a chance to cross that off her bucketlist??🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️. I captured two dancers from the @atlantaballet 2nd Dance company. It was a challenge so we made sure we walked thru the space and got test shots so that for shoot day we were all set. Check out our BTS and stay tune for other projects this year .
