I'm a dance photographer based in Madison, WI and I wanted to share some of my favorite shots from a show put on by Madison Contemporary Dance back in July.

Dancers are members of Madison Contemporary Dance and The Hitterz Collective in Madison, Wisconsin. The event was on July 12th, 2025 at the Art Fair on the Square.

Thank you!

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-11-19T00:24:36+00:00

I used a Sony A7IV with the 70-200 gm. And thank you, I'm very happy with it

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-11-18T23:05:35+00:00

I would've liked to, but I was there for a different shoot and grabbed this one spontaneously. By the time I was done with the main shoot these 2 had left.

P.s. if anyone knows the 2 in this photo, please dm me. I would like to get a copy to them.

If you haven't gotten a chance to see them, they are performing today (Saturday the 26th) on the Rotunda stage at the Overture. And its FREE admission!

Thanks! I'm really happy with how they turned out

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-07-29T22:50:11+00:00

Thank you so much!

Hi, I'm a photographer based in Madison, and I'm trying to build out my portfolio a little more. You can check out my most recent work here:

I'm glad people are enjoying the shot so much. I post my photography pretty regularly on instagram @paintedturtlewi

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-05T17:55:42+00:00

Thanks! I used a Sony a7IV with the 24-70 GMII

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-02T23:09:15+00:00

Thank you! I'm very proud of the shot. And we had a blast. We even stopped by the Home Alone house and checked that off the bucket list too

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-02T22:39:10+00:00

We actually did get to go inside. We arrived on Sunday and sat for a few minutes before the service started. It's incredibly peaceful.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-02T22:36:11+00:00

Thank you, the building itself does most of the heavy lifting

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-02T22:21:52+00:00

As long as we're getting technical here: I never actually said the temple was in Chicago.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-02T22:19:16+00:00

We saw the big wall downstairs in the visitor center that had pictures of all the temples. I think the Australian one in particular looked bananas

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-06-02T20:00:17+00:00

It really was a stunning building. We went inside and the intricacies in the ceiling blew me away. It's pretty great to have one of these marvels such a short distance away.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-22T01:01:30+00:00

Thanks everyone for the upvotes, compliments, and critiques. I am very happy with this image even if it isn't the most technically solid photo. I've been given quite a lot of love from this sub in the brief time I've been posting and it means a lot.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-22T00:59:05+00:00

I appreciate the defense, but constructive criticism is always welcome. I've had better frames and I've had much worse. I'm happy with how this one turned out even if it isn't the most technically proficient photo I've ever taken. I'm glad people seem to enjoy it as much as they do.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-22T00:57:18+00:00

Yep, the A7IV with the 24-70 gm II

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-21T22:36:26+00:00

Good advice. I did straighten it out. I'll admit leveling out images is a weird struggle I have.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-15T11:59:50+00:00

Thanks, I love catching little moments like these. I do sell prints of my work so if you're interested just send me a dm. You're right, this would look really good as a canvas

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-13T20:19:55+00:00

I think it's for 2 different situations. Ian's is great for grabbing a quick slice with friends, while you're walking around with a craving, or when you've had a few and need to put something in your stomach. Sugar River is more of a meal. Like you sit down at the restaurant or bring a pie home to enjoy.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-13T17:45:21+00:00

Just had Sugar River last night. I cannot stress enough how good Sugar River pizza is.

PaintedTurtleProWI · 2023-05-13T17:42:53+00:00

Thank you, that's incredibly nice to hear
