Jon Raffoul Photography
My name is Jon and I am a professional photographer who specailises in Dance, Lifestyle & Wedding Photography.
I will be completely honest, I'm not a dancer, I actually have two left feet when it comes to dancing!
But...I have been a professional photographer for over 7 years. I shoot Weddings in the UK and abroad when I'm not shooting Dancers, and I have had the privilege of undertaking photography work with some of the biggest dance brands in the world.
I have an eye for detail and understand the importance of ensuring you are technically as best as you can be for each shot. So if you don't think your knee is fully stretched, or your feet aren't where they need to be, don't panic! because I will be looking at these technical elements every time I take a picture. Being technically correct in each picture is just as important to me, as it is to you.
Prior to every shoot, I offer you a range of locations that will work well with your style and with your outfits and will send you some mood board shots to give you some ideas. I always focus on your strengths as a dancer and will never push you beyond your limit. At the same time, I like to be creative with pictures and like to take you out of your comfort zone and try new things.
One of the qualities I've been told I have as a photographer is the ability to relax and make people feel at ease. My goal is to get the absolute best out of you, and from the moment we meet, I will do everything I can to make that happen!
I also love to get Mum or Dad involved in our shoots. Whether they are my second camera person getting some behind the scenes footage, or the security guard protecting all our stuff, your parent or guardian plays a very important role during the shoot!
