Whitney Collins is one of the most generous, empathetic and knowledgeable instructors I've ever learned from. Her manner of teaching is simple and clear and she holds nothing back. I have taken both online and in-person courses & workshops with her and I highly recommend that you do the same. It will give you the confidence and skills you need to excel in the dance portrait genre.

Whitney approached my situation in a unique manner compared to the others I had contacted previously. She swiftly identified the issue and devised a rapid solution. Whitney provided practical recommendations on where to direct my efforts and proposed a sustainable course of action for my business.. What truly sets her apart is her authenticity. Her passion for her work shines through, and she remains unapologetically herself, a quality I deeply admire. If you're in search of a mentor to guide you in crafting a structured path forward, Whitney is the ideal choice.

Whitney’s dance photography class is a game changer!! I’ve photographed dancers for years but feel so much more empowered to do it correctly with the right terminology making my clients feel like they are in the best hands. Her dance campaign idea is such a life saver for me and looks like it will make all the difference in my business this year. I can not recommend this class highly enough. If you have any interest in photographing dancers for any reason get this class now!

I've been working with Whitney as my coach and mentor for over a year now. I started with the course and quickly worked to spend as much time with her as possible simply because of the quality of her work and her teaching talent. This workshop is one of the best I've ever had the privilege to attend/be involved with. The small group workshop allows for hands on, one-on-one access to Whitney to make sure there is learning, practice, critique and repeat! Every aspect of dance photography is covered including dance technique, lighting, design and fabric, marketing, pricing and sales.

In January of 2023, I attended a retreat where Whitney Collins was one of the speakers. I was fascinated by how she photographed dance, but felt it was outside of my depth as I have never been a dancer myself. Come to find out, Whitney is awesome enough as an instructor to help me feel like I DID know dance. She helped to explain movements, styles, poses, things to capture and things to watch out for. I was hooked, and purchased her class. She goes over, in detail, all that a photographer would need to get started in dance photography. I felt confident enough to have a dancer in my studio right after learning from her, and I had a great time with my first dance session! The one thing I didn’t want was to go into a session without confidence that I could create incredible art for my client… Whitney helped to make sure that wasn’t a possibility. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and helping all ships to rise with the tide!
