Presents photographs of dancers leaping, spinning, lifting, kicking - but in the midst of daily life: on the beach, at a construction site, in a library, a restaurant, a park. Organized around themes of work, play, love, exploration, dreaming, and more, this book celebrates life in a way that's fresh, surprising, original, universal.
A book for anyone who actually wants to have his or her breath taken away, DANCERS AMONG US showcases Jordan Matter's heart-stopping photos of top professional dancers shot in everyday settings. Without benefit of trampolines, special equipment, or Photoshop, the pictures capture the ineffable qualities that make us human in ways that are fresh, surprising, and always beautiful. The book, organized around themes of play, work, grief, love and more with an introduction on each theme and information on how each photo was captured, is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to grab life and hold onto it.
"Eye-popping fun."
