SIDELINE SCHOOL
Rituals: hair, makeup, the wait
The car ride, hair and makeup, the warm-up, the treat after.
How to shoot it
- Step 1
Hair and makeup at home
The bun, the makeup, the mirror. It happens at home in good light, and nobody minds the phone. One frame every show.
- Step 2
Shoot the wait, not the dressing room
Dressing rooms belong to the dancers, so keep the phone out of them. Shoot the waiting before they go in and the faces when they come out.
Pro tip
Hair and makeup at home is the shot nobody else has.
