The images
Steve’s daughter does
acrobatic gymnastics,
and he helps her
club with fundraising
through photography.
The idea for this
project came about
when a photographer
at BPS shared their
‘flour dancer’ images
at a club evening. This
inspired Steve to use
gymnastic chalk to
bring a selection of
moves to life. He set
up a backdrop and
two Bowens lights,
with a Speedlite
behind for rim lighting,
and got the gymnasts
to practise the moves
before introducing the
chalk. A few images
are double exposures,
because the chalk
hangs in the air for
a while. ‘To see these
gymnasts in action
is humbling,’ he says.
‘You only have to
look at their muscle
definition to appreciate
the power each of
them has developed.’
All images were taken
on a Canon EOS 5D
Mark IV with 24-70mm
f/2.8L lens. Visit http://www.
