I came across a wonderful collection of photographs from the New York based photographer, Jordan Matter. The project is entitled "Dancers Among Us" and it features an amazing set of images in which Matter invited dancers to act out various characters and jump around in New York city doing some humorous poses. The images have been published without the use of any post processing and the results are simply outstanding. In his website, Jordan Matter explains how the inspiration for these images came from watching his three year old play with his toys. Over a period of three years, he has managed to put together this amazing and joyful collection of images that absolutely delighted me. It's really inspirational and I really wish I could come up with a photo project like this. At the very least, it has started me thinking about a new direction and I hope I can come up with something equally inspiring. The whole collection is wonderful, colorful and creative. I loved them all. Here are some of the images and you can see the rest on his website www.dancersamongus.com; The website also features a wonderful videos that shows some of the behind the scenes action that went into putting this project together. Just brilliant!
Jonathan has also published a book which is available on amazon and I have ordered one. It's really reasonably priced and I am looking forward to reading / viewing it.
