Ross HOLMES, THE DANCE PROJECT (Action 2019)

Dancers cruising for THE DANCE PROJECT. I started THE DANCE PROJECT in May 2019. These photographs represent a storyline in a moment…a narrative of practice, dedication, sacrifice, strength, power, challenge, grace, elegance, frustration and elation all distilled into 1/1500th of a second. What I have discovered with the experience of photographing dancers is that a tension exists between dance and photography. Dance is movement through time and photography is about stopping movements in time…movements that can never be repeated because there will always be a difference. When dancers perform there is a moment and then…it’s gone.
