Title: Dave, Michael, Tracy, John, Sofie, Fred and the others – Bonnie Bird Theatre, Trinity Laban.Choreography: Emma Zangs
Performers: Diina Bukareva, Danell Nelson, Marta Ucinska, Mariana Lucia Marquez, Natasha Cesco G., Runa Kaiser, Apostolos Gkoumas.
This dance piece is asking the question of: ‘What is an original piece?’.
Using previously created movements, the piece enhances the fact that creating a choreography does not start necessarily with the creation of movement but with the act of editing. Beg, borrow or steal.

The memory is shared; it is not personal, neither objective. It is re-lived, not re-done. Perceptional recollection is not necessarily truthful. Everything can be imagined. If it is not true to me, it could still be true to you.

Tea Dance @ Greenwich Dance Agency
My 2nd shoot for the ‘relationship’ assignment was a Tea Dance at GDA. Being particularly interested in dance photography I thought this would be a good option for the assignment providing many opportunities for interaction. Although these images are not necessarily ‘intimate’ shots I think some of them do illustrate ‘relationship’. Here are my favourite images from the shoot.

My next stop was the workshop of Foster & Son on Jermyn St where the shoes are handmade above the shop. This photoshoot wasn’t quite so fast paced as keeping up with Gemma at ENB. My only issue with this shoot was space and working with the wrong lens for the size of the room, again, a wider lens would have been much more useful but I quite like some of the close up shots I took. A few images have a sense of the workshop space but I was pretty much backed up against the wall to get these shots but it was a great place to take photos with lots of exquisite shoes and interesting bits and pieces all over the place. On some of the images, where there was some movement, a faster asa would have been beneficial but I’m quite happy with these images overall.

Here is a breakdown of each shoot:
The main problem with this shoot was the restriction on aperture. This was a very fast paced shoot and 400asa was not adequate for some of the low lighting images on the stage and the fast pace of the quick changes backstage and Gemma doing the laundry – did I mention the assignment was manual focus too? So struggled with some of the technical issues here plus the shoot would have been much easier with a wider lens (ideally 24mm). I would say this shoot was the least successful out of all 3 assignments for the above-mentioned reasons.
