This large contingency of runners from South Korea ran by us ascending Heartbreak Hill. At the very top of the hill, the entire group assembled with others that were waiting for them at the side of the road. They proceeded to dance and bang on drums and cymbals - the joy and elation on their faces was apparent.
I know the rhythmic, trance-like throb of the drums helped pull more than a few runners up the last of the long hill. It was pretty amazing and I was glad I was there to catch it.

For me an important part of photography is to move out of my comfort zone and this series of images featuring the Janis Claxton Dancers certainly made me do that. The shoot was taken during a live performance at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. In contrast to my usual food and drink photography the subjects were moving (frequently fast and unpredictably), light levels were challenging to say the least and there were countless distractions in the background. This and the other 6 images in the group are the result. I hope that you like them.
