DANCE AND FROZEN MOVEMENTS
Dancer and light express movement so beautifully. Alison Jaques in Oslo.
Dance is movement, expressing emotions, telling stories, creating moments and images. Photography is photography of frozen moments not of the dance itself. Photography can never express dance. Dance is something that I have started enjoying more every day – as a photographer and spectator – and like to work with dancers or people and movement. In Maputo I never have seen a foreign person dance the local Marabenta dance like the locals do and I prefer to shake to the rythm in my way with that in mind.

I am doing some photography these days for a dance group in Oslo to develop material for their website and projects. I also really loved going with the Dance-Jam group in Maputo to the markets to see their interaction with the community through their dance. And I did really enjoy working with Maria Helena Pinto, who is developing the Dance Artes complex in Matola just outside Maputo. Here is a collection of photoshoots that I have made recently.
