I’m guessing people are under the impression that I stand there directing models but I prefer to influence and suggest rather than control. The model is as much an artist involved in the creative process. And the result is special to me because we both reached this crossroads together, whereas two dancers become a duet when their individual roles merge as one collaborative movement. So no, this wasn’t a held pose, it was a flow sequence. Notice her hair isn’t still, it’s sweeping in motion.

I happen to like how weird the motion was considering she was essentially dancing in ways that were influenced by the angles of the rock. I thought the conflicting angles were nice, the juxtaposition of both her strength and softness against the rigid stone. Its both unnerving and bizarre, yet ethereal and delicate.
