Dance in Nature
Saturday, May 27th, 2023
I’ve been photographing the nude in nature for more than 20 years. I’ve been photographing dance since 1969. I’ve decided it’s time to merge these two subjects and see what happens. The lovely and talented Michie Bee got me started. I hope to do a lot more of this style of work over the summer. […]
Pas de deux
Tuesday, March 9th, 2021
This photo taken at a Dayton Contemporary Dance Company concert was selected as a finalist the performance category of the Pas de deux dance photography contest. This is an international competition with many amazingly wonderful entries by dance photographers around the world, so I’m very pleased and honored to have been included in the finalists. […]
Into the Past Brightly
Monday, September 28th, 2015
I’ve been sorting through some old stuff and came across this. I’ve saved it all these years because this performance changed my life. I was a clueless 18-year-old college freshman, pretty much overwhelmed by the whole college experience. I was not well prepared for college by my high school. I’d never really been exposed to […]
Lindsay Hooping It Up
Thursday, October 23rd, 2014
I suspect you are all quite tired of looking at photos of that old house…even with the lovely Ayn decorating them. So, on to something completely different. These are some photos of my friend and multi-talented performer, Lindsay Nova. I met her a few years ago when she was studying dance at my alma mater, […]
More Aerial Hooping
Saturday, March 29th, 2014
Here are some more photos of Lindsay from our shoot in my studio. Sorry to have taken so long to get this post done. I’ve been sick. Bad enough for a trip to the ER. But I’m feeling much better now and all is well. Good to be back in action. Enjoy Lindsay’s aerial skills.
Up In The Air
Saturday, March 22nd, 2014
I met my friend Lindsay when she was a student dancer at Ohio University when I was doing photos of their dance concerts. She has come to my studio several times to get performance photos done. She is now in Cincinnati and teaches yoga and continues to perform. That all keeps her very busy and […]
Tall Dancing
Sunday, September 29th, 2013
When I retired from the day job some years ago, one of the things I started doing that I hadn’t been able to do when I had to report to work every day, was to start photographing dance again. I fell in love with dance and dance photography way back when I was a […]
Hoops
Friday, April 13th, 2012
I’m going to be working on catching up on posting things I’ve shot over the past few months for quite a while. I’ve made it to mid-November when Lindsay Nova and Justin Middlebrooks came to the studio for some photos of them dancing with hula hoops. I had met them both at Ohio University where […]
As Light As Air
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011
That’s what you think must be the case when you see dancers like these in action. I took this photo in New York City several years ago. I was studying dance photography with Lois Greenfield at her studio there. She brought in some of the best dancers in the world for us to work with. […]
Dance and the D7000
Friday, March 25th, 2011
One of my major motivations for getting the Nikon D7000 was the improvement I thought it would make in what I could do with dance photography. But I really had no idea how huge an improvement it would be over my D200. Now I know. I’ve been shooting dance since the 1960s. Back when I […]
