<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Over the years, we’ve been really fortunate to work with a lot of amazing Bay Area belly dancers and have amassed a vast collection of photos. In “Pose” we’re sharing the tips and techniques we’ve used to create the photos that appear in our publications, on websites, and across the web. We are in the content editing stage of the book writing process. And though we have a few more photoshoots scheduled to take some very specific images, we can see the end of the in site and anticipate release on digital this fall!
