Duet In Flight
December 17th, 2007
Another dance shot from the Lois Greenfield workshop. The dancers are Dario Vaccaro and Patty Foster. This is from the second day of the workshop. When the dancers were arriving I noticed that Patty and Dario knew each other but had not known they were both going to be dancing for the workshop. They were obviously very happy to see each other. It looked to me like they would really like to dance together, so I decided I’d ask them to do that when my turn to shoot came.
Later, before I did any photos, I had a chance to talk with Dario. I told him I was interested in shooting choreography. He said he had a small dance company and was a choreographer. I encouraged him to show me some of his choreography when our time to work together came. He was very pleased to do that. When we were getting ready to shoot and talking about what Dario and Patty were going to do, Patty said she thought the photos would work better if she didn’t wear a top, so she would match Dario’s outfit. I didn’t have any objection to that. So I ended up doing some partial nudes even at the dance workshop.
Dario was very impressive with his strength and his talent as a dancer. Patty was there with him at every step. They made a great duet couple. I’ll post one or two more shots of them together in future posts.
Thanks Dario and Patty. It was great to meet and work with you both.
