Between Acts

I recently entered my first photography contest which had a dance theme. When the contest was announced we had two months to come up with something, which normally isn’t much of a problem for me, but since I started working again some of my creativity has dried up, so I had to think a bit harder…

Two days before the due date, I woke up feeling inspired once I saw the warm morning light. Light can be a great inspiration, and it’s also an essential shaping tool in photography.

Because I didn’t have any models at my disposal, I reverted back to an idea I was thinking about before- my dancing shoes. I know I’ve done the shoe thing before, but considering I didn’t have any other ideas, I saw this as my only chance.

When I was working on this picture I wanted the shoes to look as thought they were taken off after being used passionately. To me, this photo looks as though dance shoes that are waiting in anticipation to ‘live’ again, therefore I entitled the photo “between acts”.


I know this might not be my best work, but If I didn’t submit anything at all, then I know I would regret it… So here’s hoping….
