Another of those workshops. I really like doing this kind of job. It is inspiring and nice to have people learning from themselves out of your vision. At the end of the three days, there was some 100 images hanging in the walls of the studio. A sample of each day

  C&C always welcome

Another day, another story: limiting the space, a jump and -I got it- dancers live with rodenstock 100mm 1.6

Relations between dancers and onlookers. I still have to go over the images of the last day as they are taken but not showed to the students. Will post it here if anything interesting pops out.

   I hope you got and idea of what happen there.

Wow that is a lot of quality images, hard to comment since they are very different in so many aspects,,,

You should pick a few good ones and post here IMHO,,,

I often dislike when fingers or toes are cropped out, this is of course not a rule set in stone but that's how I see it.

Lots of great shots, yet the ones I respond to most are the split image #1.1 and the emotional  #1.2 ... thank you!!!
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

The emotions seem to get in synchronicity between the dancers and you

I get the impression you had a fixed lens, you were against a wall and the dancers got to close ?

The wonder of a community like this is - you can share these emotional images (to me they are) and someone else can enjoy them too

Thank you all for the responses.

   Thanks for the "wow" Erik. The post is heavy in images. I can select fewer images and it will be easier to comment on single ones but the point of the workshop is to create a series of movements/emotions that can be caught, repeated and shared between the participants. With that in mind and knowing this another kind of place I cut down from over 100 selected images to this ones. Trying to streak a balance. Sorry if in trying to reflect the experience is not working.
   Trying to limit the space in a dance place is not the norm, not even in the images. I´m happy you find them special Frank.
   Getting in with the emotions is key for me. I found is "La raison d'être" for dance. Focusing (sic) in wich part of the body/space represents the zenith of that relationship is a perpetual work in progress for me. I try to get that, be feet, shoulder, neck, torso, hips, spine... and the rest may take care of itself. That maybe the reason sometimes parts of the body -that I thought not as important for the expression- are cut out. That´s the dancer in me? It will be an interesting point to wonder how someones training or profession can alter the way they see, as in photography, or what the deem important because of that.
   It is not a question of fixed lenses: I had the 14-24, 24-70 and 80-200 2.8 with me as well as 50 1.4G and rodenstock 100mm 1.6 and two bodies, d700 and d750. I just like to get in the action :)
  Adding a close up with the 14-24. By the third day I knew the choreography and they trust me to be "in" for a while.
  Sharing here back and forth is a genuine pleasure and privilege Mr and Ms Elsa and Jakov, Erik, Frank, Armando

Very very nice, this is exactly what I was referring to; 'one single image' that by itself summarise what the 100 other images are all about. Thanks.
