Images from the Bates Dance Festival 2008

October 17, 2009

I’ve set out to photograpaph the energy of dance, the culture of dance, the community of dancers. That might not mean catching the most perfect arabesque, or the highestt leap. It’s about photographing from within, from the heart, and giving expression to what I saw and felt.

Living at Bates for the whole festival, I was sharing, eating, attending classes and rehearsals with the dancers the whole time Here are just a few of my images from that experience:

All of these dance images, and others on my photography web site, are for sale. Please inquire. Also, I have a book, Dance! that is for sale on Amazon, or directly from me.
