Dancer

Nicole Pierce, dancer and choreographer extraordinaire, has been a favorite subject of mine for over 10 years. I photograph her on Sunday mornings every few months -- except for lapses when I break a wrist or become too lazy to rouse myself for the 10 AM session.

I'm free to shoot while Nicole puts together her weekly dance class at Greene Street Studios in Cambridge. She doesn’t stop to pose for me, so in a sense my process is the same as when I’m photographing in city streets. I like the spontaneity of the ever-changing present, never quite sure what the next instant will bring.
