What are the challenges that you are facing?

I’ve been very fortunate to have had the chance to transition from a dance career to a photographer and videographer specializing in dance and theater. The challenges that I face revolve mostly around recognizing the changes in my life and self-perception from a creative artist to operating a “business” (something I never studied for.) Even though I’ve been at it a while, I still struggle with this.

What gives you the most joy about shooting a new dance film?

Sometimes, there comes a certain moment when shooting where the frame is anticipating and intrinsically linked with the dancer. It’s difficult for me to articulate. But the sensation is as if I am directly tethered to the performer through this frame, this camera.

What is your current inspiration?

I’m at a point where my work is shooting a broad range of dance styles and films. This is very exciting- as I need to be thoughtful about how to best capture various genres and think about pursuing even more.
