I’m honored to interview Lance Long. He is an accomplished dance photographer, & his skill at capturing dance and movement in the studio and on the stage is exceptional. Lance’s ability to anticipate the movement & then capturing it has always impressed me, and I look forward to talking with Lance about dance, photography, and art.

Keith was the first Elgin photographer that I met. He’s a full time professional photographer, president of the Elgin Area Camera Club, & on the Board of Directors for Horses & Heroes. He has been a friend for more than 10 years, & I’m excited to talk about running a photo business and still enjoying photography.
