Dancing is a form of expression and for some people dance becomes their own language and vocabulary. This dance vocabulary is a serious study of the art of dance and also a study of themselves in relation to the environment and people around them. This photo book is about those wonderful and energetic dance artists as I have captured their dance vocabulary in their chosen environments in four cities around the world.

Through photography I express & explore the human condition and its wide range of emotions. I often collaborate with other artists and use architecture and urban landscape as stages.
