Drawing from my own movement practice, I use my body to dodge and burn light in the darkroom to hide and reveal portions of images. Each image begins as a long-exposure of dancers in motion and consists of several improvised “movement phrases”—performative dodging and burning over iterative prints—layered onto a single final composition.

Together, they form a series of photographic choreographies unfolding across bodies and time in a desire to capture the internal experience of dance itself.
