Waiting for the Dance
The beautiful Sarah Naomi, one of the belly dancers in the Seraphim Troupe, at the Renaissance Fair last weekend. In this image she is standing on the sidelines waiting for her turn to perform. 5/21/19 Judith Sparhawk
The Dancer
This lovely young woman was one of the belly dancers in the troupe performing at the 2018 Renaissance Fair in Irwindale, CA. In this image she was on the sidelines watching others dance. I liked her costume and her pleasing expression as she watched. 3/7/19 Judith Sparhawk
Dancing on the Grass
I loved the way this belly dancer at the Renaissance Faire whirled and twirled. I made this composite of three images of her, dancing with wild abandon. I used a painterly filter after the composite was complete.
Mother and Child
When she wasn't dancing with the belly dancing troupe she was holding her son on her lap. Renaissance Faire, Irwindale, CA, 2018.

Twirling Dancer
This belly dancer at the Renaissance Faire twirled around and around, and I loved the way her skirt looked as she turned.
Belly Dancer
I went to the 2017 Renaissance Faire in Irwindale, CA today. I played with some of the belly-dancer shots, including giving a painterly look.
Moon Nymph - Judith Sparhawk
This was one of the costumed performers at the Renaissance Fair a few years ago. She was up in a tree when I took this shot, but it took a lot of work to create the background and the moon effect. She has been one of my favorites over the years. 3/23/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Lady Bountiful - Judith Sparhawk
Another Renaissance Fair image, one of my favorites. I call it Lady Bountiful, but I'm not sure what she would have considered herself. I just took a couple of shots as she walked by. This is a crop with pp from the original. 3/15/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
The Green Man - Judith Sparhawk
Keeping in the Renaissance Fair theme, this is The Green Man, who was sitting up in a tree, watching everyone walk by. This is a painterly version of this very green gentleman. 3/14/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Waiting to Dance - Judith Sparhawk
Four days with rain, so dipping into the archives. I got word that they are again cancelling the Renaissance Fair, so going back to images from previous years. This young lady is one of the belly-dancers from the troupe dancing every year at our fair. She is quite a good dancer--this is a view of her waiting for her turn to dance. 3/13/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
At the Maypole
This young lady was photographed at the Maypole at the Renaissance Fair. I thought she looked really sweet in her hat with flowers.
This dancer was performing at the Renaissance Faire. Carrying of the clay jugs was part of the dance.
A Quiet Moment
Working on an image from last Spring's Renaissance Faire. She was one of the belly-dancers, sitting on the sidelines between dances. I liked her pensive look.
Smile!
This candid is of one of the belly dancers at the Renaissance Fair. I really liked her smile. 10/13/18
