Dancing in Nature

Dancing has been an important part of my life, since the age of 3 years old, which is why I wanted to show how much dancing means to me in my photographs. For many years, I have enjoyed photographing nature and capturing the aspects that would normally go unnoticed. 
By combining these two passions of mine, by photographing myself dancing in a natural landscape, I seek to show how both can be referred to as peaceful and relaxing but can also show strength and power. In this project, I explore different elements of nature and dance genres in order to most effectively express emotions evoked by both.
I created this project in 2020 during my first year of college but I hope one day that I can continue with it now that I have improved my photography skills. To be able to continue with this project though I need my health to improve. Some of these images were taken two weeks before I got ill and lost the ability to walk and use my upper body, this has made this project special to me as it shows what my life was like and gives me something to try and work towards.
