The Man Machine II (edition 1 of 25) Photograph

The dance photography I mostly get asked to shoot, of famous and less famous dancers, tends to involve one decisive moment where in theory everything comes together into a split second of perfection. The camera is of course uniquely positioned to capture such a split second and looking into this 'unseeable' fraction of a second is something the eye otherwise would never experience. The frozen moment. My perception of dance however and the feeling the audience experiences has often little to do with the above. Rather it has everything to do with the flow of the motion and the travels the figure goes through in order to 'create' the dance. This is something the still camera is uniquely bad at describing and capturing. Attempting to capture it though, creates some very wonderous and for me emotionally strong images. Indeed images that 'speak back to me' as I am rarely entirely able to predict the exact outcome. This image features Jonathan Goddard, whom I worked closely with to create this series. It was also featured as the poster for the New Movement Collective's performance of 'Collapse' at London's South Bank Centre in August 2016. The print is printed on Fuji Crystal archive c-type paper with a semi-matt finish. This is a limited edition of 25 + 2 artist's proofs.
