Victoria Photographer | Dancers and the Pursuit of Excellence

December 29, 2013

Human beings are truly amazing.

Perhaps my background in martial arts and gymnastics has acentuated my wonderment – but I am ceaselessly inspired by what people are capable of mastering when they put in the time and discipline. As a photographer I am fortunate to be challenged with capturing human excellence in an endless array of professions, skill-sets and expertise.

The set of photos below is the first in a series of attempts to capture the dynamic and elegant movement of skilled dancers. Working with the extremely talented Amy Rowley and Devon Chan was an absolute blast. Their ability is a testament to the years of training and refinement of their craft. We almost cancelled because it was cold and a little rainy, but they pushed through and seriously delivered. Props to Zia Kalyan, my voice activated light stand on this shoot (and many others).
