Celebrate the harvest moon

Did you see the harvest moon last night?    It is the perfect time for me to share some dancing-with-the-moon images here. 

In my work of dance photography, I place great importance in creating context and layers to help establish the mood of a photograph and invite audience to view it as an unfolding scene/story rather than a single action.   Therefore, in my recent creative dance photoshoot with Xuan Cheng and Brian Simcoe  (the principal dancers from Oregon Ballet Theater), we explored the idea of dancing with the moon.   Here are two of the resulting images with different energies.
