From the first time I photographed dance, I have been passionate about capturing its elegance, energy and mystery.

When I photograph dance, I listen to the music, I watch the choreography and again and again I feel connected with the dancers in such a way that my heart speeds up, my breathing deepens, I move and rebalance myself often, my muscles relax and contract and I can anticipate, I somehow know, what the next move will be, even though I have never seen the choreography before.

At such moments my surroundings cease to exist and taking photographs becomes a floating experience, a twirling and ecstatic dancing in another dimension.

Even though I mostly take pictures of dancers and beautiful motion, sometime I touch other photographic fields to balance it a bit I guess.
