A dancer's portrait

Today I'm bringing you the first part of a photo shoot I did with my friend, dancer and performer Teresa Facipierre. One of Teresa's requests was for B&W photos with a very raw and realistic look. The aim was to show a little of the bruising on her body caused by the pole dance bar, to show the challenges of being a dancer of her level. In fact, she's one of the best I've ever seen in performance, especially in terms of her level of dedication. A born artist!

I hope you enjoy it.
