Abstract

Photography is prominent form of communication in our society, and I envisioned a body of work that would glorify beauty and form in an aesthetically pleasing way. Two of the best resources for these requirements are the landscape and dancers, both of which I absolutely love and am constantly inspired by. Due to the landscapes I chose to photograph as the dancers’ environment, the work needed to be done in color photography. I also wanted the images to feel alive, so each dancing shape had to be in motion, ranging from large obvious motion to small subtle motion.
