Photographing Dance

Capturing the sense of movement with purpose is the objective of my dance imagery. Sometimes I succeed by utilizing a variety of approaches, sometimes I don't. I enjoy my dance assignments for their uncertainty and unpredictability. It is a personal reward for me when I get it right.
