Dance is at the heart of Daniel Boud's practice. He is a trusted photographer for Australia's leading dance companies, shooting campaign imagery, studio portraiture and live performance for Bangarra Dance Theatre, The Australian Ballet, Sydney Dance Company and Stephanie Lake Company.

Photographing dance demands a rare combination: the technical precision to freeze a dancer at the exact apex of a movement, the lighting craft to sculpt bodies in motion, and the sensitivity to work with elite dancers in a way that respects their artistry and physical limits. Daniel's long-running campaign relationships — including many consecutive seasons with Bangarra — reflect the trust companies place in him with their most important imagery.

His dance photography spans high-concept campaign shoots, rehearsal and studio sessions, and production photography of works in performance, including the Flora collaboration between The Australian Ballet and Bangarra.

Available for dance campaign, studio and performance commissions worldwide.
