Dancing in the Streets
They say to “do something everyday that scares you” and taking dance portraits was something that frankly I was very nervous about doing. But always up for a new challenge, I couldn’t resist getting out with an amazingly talented (and flexible might I add) dancer. Missy is a true LPer, but has been living & dancing these past 10 years in New York city. I was flattered, excited, and slightly terrified, when she asked me to take some “unconventional” dance photos for her portfolio. A few days ago we hit the streets in downtown LaSalle and out and Baker’s Lake and let me say, it was AWESOME! Not only was it so fun working with her, trying new things and getting creative, but to be around such talent was inspiring. Missy is unbelievable and was such a good sport, up for anything, including walking barefoot on some pretty questionable surfaces, climbing scaffolding & fire escapes, and enduring some rowdy cat calls & comments from bystanders, and even a few questions from a News Tribune reporter. I’m still working on editing but had to post a few sneak peeks for Missy. I hope you love them and they are what you were hoping for!
