Dancer Magazine Cover Story Shoot







I traveled to New York City to shoot a cover story for Dancer Magazine about the world famous Paul Taylor Dance Company. See http://www.ptdc.org/
The shoot took place over two days. On the first day I was given the challenge of photographing the 78 year old Paul Taylor and two of his soloist dancers in 30 minutes.
That is right 30 MINUTES. I asked Paul to work with his dancers on the studio floor as I directed and moved about.
The next day I had the same two dancers in a studio photo session for 3 hours. I present here the first day's images in B&W and the second day in color.

To make things more interesting, I asked fellow pbaser, Kent Atwell (SHATTERBUG) to shoot behind the scenes. You will see me setting up, working with the dancers and shooting.
Also present are the owner, publisher, and editors of the magazine. See his gallery here https://pbase.com/shatterbug/the_making_of_dancer_magazine_cover_story_shoot

Great moments and great pictures. And I like very much the alternation of colour pictures and images black and white with Paul Taylor. A success, Richard ! BV.

Phenomenal new work!

I believe this dance company has made a run thru Hawaii in the past. It seems to me they had a performance at the Kahilu Theatre in Waimea and probably Maui and Oahu while here as well.

Beautiful shots Richard - dramatic and poetic. The presentation is superb in rows of four alternating the focus on Paul Taylor and the dancers. As always the photography is exquisite!!BV

You did a masterful job on the b/w shots, which were taken under extremely difficult lighting conditions, and your studio shots reach your usual high standard!
Guest 06-Mar-2009 20:04
