The Dance of Elesha

 

The race against impending lockdown was on. My tiny house where I shoot was not suitable for dance photography the way I wanted to achieve it. So this meant travelling to a large studio space. Inspire Studios in Salisbury was the destination. It is Elesha's favourite studio. We were lucky. I didn't intend to spend all day on dance shots. That would have been exhausting for both of us. So we went through aspects of dance from static poses to ariel leaps using ribbons, scarves and dance apparel. I think it will be an event ever in my head. The experience of first time dramatic dance with a very special friend, Elesha. Just enjoy the combined arts of dance and photography.

Jess at the Chapel

Lockdown was rather a mess for everything including photography. So using the law of meeting someone outside for walking I arranged to meet Jess at Bedham Chapel. This is an abandoned Victorian building totally away from anywhere. You could drive past in summer and never know it was there. It also doubled up as a schoolroom. Where the children came from I have no idea. I wanted to shoot a mixture of Gothic and modern fashion. I think we were both grateful to get out of the house and spent a fun few hours shooting and talking.
