Exclusive art project by photographer Erwin Olaf and choreographer Hans van Manen offering a unique view on dance and photography
“Ballet inspires me. Human beings have the capacity to express themselves through many art forms, but when it comes to dance – and especially classical modern ballet – I am always amazed by that unbelievably elevated form of expression. It's so precise and so incredibly skilled; I admire that enormously.” ― Photographer and filmmaker Erwin Olaf
“The fact that the photographer is looking through the camera lens means they have a different perspective from looking directly at the figure. That is voyeuristic. The camera can do something that the audience member can't: zooming in for a close-up.” ― Choreographer Hans van Manen
The grand master of Dutch dance, Hans van Manen, celebrates his 90th birthday this year. That has given rise to international celebrations by leading ballet companies with the Hans van Manen festival from 8 to 29 June 2022, the exclusive publication Dance in Close-Up and the exhibition of the same name in Galerie Ron Mandos in Amsterdam from 19 June to 17 July 2022. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Hans van Manen was not only one of the world's leading choreographers, but also an internationally acclaimed photographer. It was during this period that the then very young photographer Erwin Olaf met the famed artist, who immediately took him under his wing and introduced him to the world of the visual arts and studio photography. This book celebrates their 40 years of friendship, with a photo series in which Van Manen directs moments from his choreographic career, recorded with the utmost precision by Erwin Olaf. With text contributions from the authors Nina Siegal and Michael James Gardner.

one of my favourite shots from yesterday's outing at the lake
#my photography!#bird photography#birding#birds#canada goose#canadian goose#wildlife photography#thinking about the tumblr conversation about the inherent eroticism of rivals in combat#this photo looks so romantic#almost like dancing#compared to the photo I also got yesterday of two geese mating#which just looks like a little kid pulling another's hair for a few seconds#whereas this is an intense fight but looks so pretty...#anyways#gonna ref this for a drawing someday
