Focal Points

The Polaroid Land 195 camera is an incredible conversation starter. Pulling it out of the bag and extending the bellows always gets an interesting reaction. I will often have the model pull the film from the backing and the reaction is usually one of awe! The feeling of actually holding a Polaroid photograph in your hand versus looking at an image on the back of some digital screen is way more natural.
With the help of my friends - and 100+ ballerinas around the world, I am currently working on self-publishing a fine-art coffee table book of ballerinas photographed on film. Dance is a universal subject, as is photography. Having a deep love for the darkroom, and ballet photography, I have combined those two subjects to create a meaningful body of work in over 15 countries, with a goal of 25 countries in total. Though at times it may not be as technically perfect as a digital photograph, a darkroom image speaks elegantly in a world saturated with sterile images.
