The Australian Ballet China Tour

I was the photographer for The Australian Ballet's tour to China in 2018 and embarked on a project taking the dancers out into the streets of Beijing. The images capture the energy, grace and passion for movement embodied in the dancers and juxtapose their classical form with the gritty urban landscape of this iconic city. The dancers are removed from the highly controlled environment of the stage, and placed in the crowded, gritty streets of Beijing to create humorous, joyful portraits celebrating the athletic prowess of the dancers set against the mundane reality of the urban familiar.
