statement:
I have been photographing dance for over thirty years. During this time I was dealing with hundreds of choreographers and companies ( links ). I therefore allow myself to say that over the decades I have learned to distinguish between serious work and the production of hot air. However, this has nothing to do with my work: If I have agreed to photograph a choreography / piece, I will do so to the best of my knowledge and belief.
As is well known, a photo is an object in its own right, to be judged according to its own aesthetic criteria, and not a mere depiction. Additionally, when photographing dance, essential elements of a choreography - the movement in space and time, the presence or absence of music, noises, language - are not accessible to the medium of photography: what is shown in a choreography using the means of dance, has to be translated into another visual language. It can therefore happen that an interesting and innovative choreography is difficult to photograph, but a flat and trivial one very well. So it may not be permissible to draw conclusions about the quality of the photographed choreography from the quality of my pictures.
