Chris Nash is a London based photographer specialising in Dance with a worldwide reputation built from over 60 individual exhibitions globally. His highly theatrical style and ability to capture key choreographic moments have been in demand for over 2 decades, not only by contemporary dance companies needing promotional images but also fashion, advertising and editorial areas.

The reflections and shapes in this image are most intriguing. The positioning of the arms, legs and bodies almost make the dancers seem alien like. The woman's hair being so white and swished about with movement attracts attention towards her, the focus personally lies solely on them. The plain white/blue wash background softens the obscureness of their movement.
The idea of being from below and capturing a movement from underneath adds abstract view and the idea of Celtic symbolism.
I love the action of the jumping in this image with the movement of the sand attached with the body. Even though its black and white, there wasn't any need for colour as the image originally adds affect and simpleness with it.
Humour; this image is very simple but the composition of the wall diagonally, leading towards the old man dancing randomly.
This image reminds me of my own from the soliloquy task of the blurred movement. I like the affect it adds to the image and the unknown behind it.
These images of Chris' are based around dance portraiture, these have a different style to his other images but show just the same amount of expression.
