Davia’s Dance

I once went to a hear a talk by Joe McNally and he said if you wanted to make some great photographs, shoot a dancer. I tucked that pearl of wisdom in my hat many years ago and just never had the opportunity. A dancer friend of mine I made introduced me to 2018 Miss South Carolina, Davia Bunch and we spent an afternoon in the studio creating a few low key images shooting dance on digital medium format. Typically dance photographs are made at the height of a move, with the perfect form. I asked her to fall out of the forms as I loved the look just before she had to break the move to catch herself.
