Here I got to work with stylist Alexandra Moonage www.moon-age.net testing model Johanna Dahl at FM model agency and Danille/Nicole Kahlani www.technicolorlondon.com.  It was cold, rainy, dark, but we seemed to pull off and come out with some great images.

The styling is designed to outline the contours of the body or that show off the body through their sheerness with nude/beige colours for the skin.  Ex) Ballet Dancer Costume.

We also wanted to explore the dichotomy of strength and fragility within the body eg. ballet dancers are robust and have magnificent control of their bodies however they are straining themselves at the same time and prone to serious injury eg. damaging and bruising their feet.

The inspiration came from Pina Bausch,
her ethereal beauty, elegance, strength, vulnerability and rawness portrayed through movement taken in and around the overgrown pathways and urban landscape of London (as one big theatre).
