You might have wondered why I provide free use attire for my photography clients—especially for dancers and gymnasts. Let me share a little insight into why this idea became such an essential part of my work at Maneyacts Photography.
The Origin of Free Use Attire
When I first began photographing dancers, I quickly noticed a trend: many participants only had their school-required uniforms, such as a crop top and shorts or a leotard. More and more dance schools were adopting strict uniform policies, and while these uniforms were great for training, they didn’t always lend themselves to the more creative, expressive nature of a photoshoot.
I saw an opportunity to help. I wanted to offer my clients more variety in their wardrobe choices—something they could feel excited and confident in, something that reflected their personality and the unique style of the photoshoot. This is how the concept of “free use attire” was born.
Before long, I noticed the same issue popping up with gymnasts. Their training attire, too, was often limited to what was required for practice, leaving little room for the individuality that a photoshoot could highlight. So, I extended the free use attire concept to gymnasts, and just like that, my wardrobe options grew.
Offering Variety and Flexibility
One of the biggest reasons I continue to offer free use attire is to give my clients variety. When you’re preparing for a photoshoot, you might want something different from your everyday wardrobe. A unique style, color, or design can completely change the vibe and energy of the photos.
By offering a wide selection of attire, I’m able to give clients the freedom to experiment with different looks. Whether it’s a bold costume, a sleek leotard, or a casual crop and shorts set, there’s something for everyone. This variety is what gives Maneyacts Photography that special edge—it’s not just about capturing the moment, but about making sure every detail, including the outfit, tells a story.
