Recently I teamed up with Cirque du Soleil performer @imina.tsydendambaeva and @gladystamezmillinery to create this new piece for my #painteddancer series. You can watch her bend and flex in every way imaginable in the #kurioscirquedusoleil show. Thanks to my gals who always are on board wit my vision for this series. @erinwaltersmua : body paint and makeup @schlitzie : styling (at The Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hw8-oA3Qu/?igshid=ccpja1356yqi

Another piece from my ongoing Painted Dancer series featuring flexer/bone breaker @android_martina. It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these pieces. It’s a self reminder to always push hard with personal works and to always attempt to out do yourself. I’ll be expanding on this series with some new works coming soon. If you’re a professional dancer and you are interested in collaborating with me on a special project that I’ve been working on for years, please DM me. #painteddancer .....................................................

Five years ago I made this image of @drewjacoby while she was visiting LA. Not only did this image spark an entire series that I’m still working on but it’s also part of the reason I was able to present my work in a photo workshop in Mexico City and tomorrow I get to shoot with some of the worlds best dancers at @despertaresmex Connections with people go a long way and I’m thankful for Drew introducing me to Emilia @soulartsproductions and her wonderful brothers @chapulo7 @kekelindo It’s a pleasure to know these amazing people! Just another people / photo connection story I have. #painteddancer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm1R2wzldNo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pylo570irsy8
