London Break Dance-Personal Project

Adrian's latest personal project was to dip his toe in to the world of dance.

For much of my recent work I have concentrated on athletes and I felt it would be interesting to explore how a dancer, all be it a non classical one, would move and use their body through the air."

Having contacted and selected the dancers, a stage was built in the studio with a clear Perspex floor (courtesy of Ted Humble-Smith thank you!!). This enabled the dancers to be lit and photographed from underneath. The studio and staging then had to be completely blacked out to eliminate any reflections and to give a solid black background.
