Workflow options for costume changes (Dance Photography)

Table of contents

Overview

In dance photography, a subject may be photographed in more than one costume—for example, for different troupes, crews, or dance styles. There are two ways to handle this: either use a single access code or assign multiple access codes. This article explains both options.

Option 1: Single access code (recommended)

Four panels show two dancers, each with matching QR code cards and cameras; each pair features two different dance poses in front of their cameras.

Using a single access code, follow these steps:

  1. Take a picture of Subject A's QR card.
  2. Photograph Subject A in costume 1, then have them change into costume 2.
  3. Take a picture of Subject B's QR card.
  4. Photograph Subject B in costume 1, then have them change into costume 2.
  5. Take another picture of Subject A's QR card.
  6. Photograph Subject A in costume 2, then proceed to costume 3 or return their QR card.
  7. Repeat as needed.

Option 2: Multiple access codes

Four illustrated panels show dancers above cameras. Each dancer has a QR code and poses in different dance styles.

Our system avoids creating duplicates when a subject's name appears multiple times on the names list. To retain separate entries for each costume:

[Advanced] Add a unique identifier to each entry in your names list.

Use the Identifier column in your spreadsheet to assign a unique number to each subject entry.

This ensures the system creates one unique access code per costume for each subject.

Follow these steps:

  1. Take a picture of Subject A's first QR card.
  2. Photograph Subject A in costume 1, then have them change into costume 2.
  3. Take a picture of Subject B's first QR card.
  4. Photograph Subject B in costume 1, then have them change into costume 2.
  5. Take a picture of Subject A's second QR card.
  6. Photograph Subject A in costume 2, then proceed to costume 3 or return all QR cards.
  7. Repeat as needed.

The takeaway

Choose the access code strategy that fits your dance photography workflow best. Use a single access code for simplicity, or multiple access codes for detailed tracking by costume.
