After eight marvelous years of photographing Chicago dance, I will be closing this chapter by the end of the year as Lee and I relocate to Valencia, Spain.
In 2013 Surinder invited me to photograph an Audience Architects opening event at The Chicago Cultural Center. This was my first dance program and an introduction to a new world of stage photography.
During this period I have photographed many events, companies and individuals. Quickly I developed a passion for dance and dance photography. I am in awe of the vibrance and life of the Chicago dance community. And honored to be able to document it.
I’d like to thank Surinder, Heather, Phil, Gail, Bob, Lane, Gaea Lady, Shiwali, Julia, Audrey, Radia, Audrey, Julie, Mark, Jennifer, Molly, Sterling, Solomon, J.C., Emily, Jackie, Raphelle, Carlos, Brian, Tristan, Cameron, Antonia, Chicago Tap Theatre, Dance for Life, Desueño Dance, Stomping Grounds, and all those who I have encountered along this journey.
Soon I will seek dance, performance and concert photography in Spain.
