My mother was a professional dancer when she was in high school throughout her early adulthood. She had always preached to me the beauty of dance, the dedication it takes, and the determination needed to work through the pain. I was probably too young to understand the philosophy behind dance when I was young, but it gave me a sense of deference to those who have studied the art.

Enter Caroline Pilcher, a personal trainer at Equinox Lincoln Park and a professional dancer. She needed updated imagery for the upcoming audition season and I was more than happy to oblige. In the imagery below I tried to capture the human body moving as one, against gravity and against muscle and bone, to create something beautiful.
