Photographing Dance and Dancers
OPPA presents an immersive 3-part photography workshop with Fritz Liedtke and BodyVox Dance
May 3, 2026

Portland, OR 97209
Tickets:
OPPA, ASMP, and PPW Members: $199

Discover the art of capturing movement, emotion, and light in this immersive three-part dance photography workshop with professional photographer Fritz Liedtke, held at Portland’s celebrated BodyVox Dance Center.
Designed for photographers of all levels, this workshop combines the excitement of working with professional dancers with the technical and creative guidance you need to take your images to the next level.
Part 1: Preparation — Self-Guided Materials (Delivered the week before class)
Before the in-person session, you’ll receive a set of resources to help you prepare. These materials will cover foundational concepts and a host of inspiration, so you arrive ready to make the most of your time in the studio.
Part 2: On Location — 6 Hours of Shooting (Saturday)
Spend the day photographing professional dancers in a variety of settings, both in the beautiful BodyVox studio and in the surrounding environment. Fritz will be your guide all through the day, both demonstrating concepts, and working with you one-on-one to help refine your vision and imagery. You’ll learn how to:
• Work with natural light and artificial light, including flash and modifiers
• Direct and pose dancers to highlight form, grace, and drama
• Anticipate and capture the decisive moment when movement and emotion align
• Choose locations, wardrobe, and styling that enhance your vision
• Build confidence in working with models and performers
If you want to work with flash, you are welcome to bring your own gear, and Fritz will help you refine your approach to artificial lighting. The goal is to help you explore multiple approaches, experiment creatively, and walk away with a portfolio of dynamic images.
Part 3: Virtual Editing & Image Review (Follow-Up Session)
Several days after the shoot, we’ll gather online for an editing and critique session. You’ll receive constructive feedback on your photos, learn editing techniques to make your images shine, and discuss strategies for building a strong body of dance or performance photography.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only have a deeper understanding of lighting, timing, and storytelling in dance photography, but also the confidence to work with dancers, models, and performers in future projects. Whether you’re looking to broaden your portrait and event photography skills or simply want the chance to create extraordinary images in a supportive, collaborative setting, this workshop is designed to be both challenging and inspiring.

Phil Harris, Boundless/Duration

First Thursday Opening Reception, May 7th 5-8 pm
Gallery 114
1100 NW Glisan
Portland, OR 97209
503-243-3356
Thursday-Sunday, 12-5 pm
In this exhibition, I’m pairing two types of large-scale photographic work: Duration and Boundless.The Duration work started a decade ago, and involves carefully documenting and reassembling processes of time and change.
Boundless is a more recent, more open body of work. Boundless is about questions of light, form and color: an intuitive response to the complexity, wonder and fluid nature of the world.
Both bodies of work are responses to the extraordinary qualities that nest inside the ordinary, when we take the time and make the effort to look closely.

Exhibition Launch
Thu, Jun 4, 2026
Our next 50th anniversary online exhibition open call invites you to step inside the spaces we’ve built and grown. The House & Garden Show revisits the theme from the original show in 1986. From intimate interiors and quiet domestic moments to wild backyards and cultivated landscapes, we are looking for diverse interpretations of shelter and nature: literal, abstract, or imaginary.
We encourage you to submit up to three images connecting the theme “House & Garden” by Fri, May 15 at 4:59 PM (PT). The show will be juried by Chris Rauschenberg and will be published on Thu, Jun 4, 2026. Show us how you see the places we call home, and the life that surrounds them.
In October 1975, five unemployed but passionate photographers envisioned a $40/month, 125 sq ft storefront as a space to exhibit photography. 50 years and more than 1,000 solo exhibitions and 60 group shows later, Blue Sky Gallery is celebrating its legacy with a new online exhibition series: 12 themed online open calls, one for each month of our 50th anniversary year.

String Theory - Amber Moon Leigh
From natural illumination and deep shadow to artificial and constructed light, consider how light reveals, obscures, directs attention, and transforms mood. Light can be a subject, a tool, or a quiet presence, shaping meaning as much as form. We celebrate work that uses light to enhance atmosphere, emotion, and visual narrative.

Siberia 2 - Kathy Radie
North of the Arctic Circle is a photographic exploration of a landscape where distance, weather, and time reshape our sense of scale and belonging. Drawn from years of travel across Alaska, the Canadian Yukon, and eastern Siberia, Kathy Radie’s images reflect encounters with Indigenous communities, wildlife, and vast northern wilderness where beauty and danger exist side by side. In a place that can feel both empty and overwhelming, life persists with quiet determination. These photographs invite viewers to experience the Arctic not simply as scenery, but as a powerful presence that awakens humility, wonder, and reflection.

2025 Critical Mass Solo Exhibition
Elliot Ross
A Question of Balance
Apr 2 - May 2, 2026
Image © Elliot Ross
Elliot Ross’ project A Question of Balance examines a water crisis shaped by inequity in the American Southwest. As the region faces its worst drought in 1,200 years, Navajo Nation residents haul and conserve scarce supplies while nearby communities consume abundantly at low cost from the same source. This project reveals how water access defines daily life, landscape, and opportunity. Rooted in lived proximity and relationships, Ross asks not just how water will be managed in a changing climate, but for whom. Elliot Ross is the recipient of the 2025 Critical Mass Solo Exhibition Award, chosen from a pool of 200 portfolios.
Elliot Ross (b. 1990, Taiwanese-American, he/him) My photographic practice is deeply connected to the American West—a region that serves as a text for exploring how landscapes, both natural and constructed, influence communities and cultures. I see my bodies of work as long standing investigations into the impact of settler colonialism, the urban-rural disconnect, and human relationships with natural resources. Projects develop over years, built on collaborative relationships, underpinned by trust and openness. Drawing from my own experiences as an individual of mixed Taiwanese-Anglo-American descent, I see photography as a means of exploring—and sometimes challenging—our relationship with the places we call home and their contested histories. My goal is to encourage connections that bridge gaps in understanding to facilitate a deeper sense of convergence during a time of ecological collapse and societal rupture.

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 4, 2026, 5–8 p.m.

Visiting Dublin was already on Rockoff's bucket list when he arrived in May 2024, unbeknownst to him coinciding with the inaugural Dublin Street Photography Festival. Inspired by the city, its sometimes eccentric but generally warm and friendly inhabitants, the festival itself, and the friendships formed with photographers Brian Sparks and Tony O'Shea, he captured analog images that presented themselves as he explored the city's sights. The experience was so enjoyable that he returned the following May, again limiting himself to Dublin city and the coastal towns of Dublin County.
Shot on film, the photographs are unplanned and instinctive - made, as Rockoff puts it, during “two springtime holidays when photographing on the streets was a passion.”
“Again limited to Dublin city and county coastal towns, these photographs are my visual souvenirs.” — Steve Rockoff

The Soul of Portraiture: A Four-Day Portrait Photography Immersion in Santa Fe
Fritz Liedke and Santa Fe Workshops
May 12 – 15, 2026
Santa Fe, New Mexico
$2195
In this immersive four-day workshop in Santa Fe, fine-art and commercial photographer Fritz Liedtke guides you beyond technique into the true art of portraiture. Together, we'll explore what it means to see deeply, connect authentically, and create images that transcend the ordinary.
Amid the luminous light and rich textures of Santa Fe, you'll photograph inspiring models in evocative locations—desert landscapes, adobe walls, and old-world courtyards—to create portraits that are beautiful, and meaningful.
Through discussions, live demonstrations, and guided photo sessions, you'll refine your artistic voice, learn to use natural and artificial light with intention, direct your subjects with confidence, and develop your editing process to enhance mood and style. With Fritz’s hands-on guidance and immediate feedback, you'll learn to create portraits that reflect your unique artistic vision.
On a personal level, Fritz also guides you through exercises that help you break through emotional barriers, refine your artistic vision, listen to your intuition, and discover the poetry within portraiture.
In this workshop, we cover the following—and much more:
• Researching and scouting locations that are suitable for portraiture
• Using model releases and building professional relationships with your talent
• Studying the work of master portrait photographers to emulate and expand upon their techniques
• Building rapport with subjects and posing them with clarity and ease
• Finding and shaping natural light to create evocative portraits
• Using portable artificial lighting (flash) effectively and creatively on-location
• Editing efficiently and beautifully in Lightroom and other software
• Developing a cohesive portrait projects or series
• Identifying and overcoming fears and limitations that hinder your portrait photography
You will leave Santa Fe not only with striking new images and new friendships, but with fresh insight, confidence, and new ways of seeing and understanding people through portraiture.
