Having added quite a few new photos into our little Vox page I feel an explanation of our (Article19's) approach to dance imagery may be in order.
We like to shoot 'editorial style' rather than the very rigid, posed images that you often see of dance, particularly in the press. The perfect image of the professional dancer in the perfect pose is not something that really interest us here.
Of far more interest is the personality of the folks involved especially if the images involve none professional or young dancers, as some of the images here do. The images are a lot more engaging because the subjects come across as more human, which of course they are ;o), but you can also tell the story of the class, workshop or whatver it is we are covering with close ups, reactions and contact between the participants.
It all makes for a much better photograph in our opinion and shows professional dancers in particular as we know and love them, as hard working individuals who can laugh, smile and grimace, showing a side of their personality which can often get lost on stage!
