Aaron Walker, Water Body (Portrait (ATEP 2017))

A dynamic portrait series capturing the visual power of water on the body. Aerialists have an immense respect and reverence for the dangers involved in their work, trusting their own unique movement skills to be able to dance beautifully in the air against gravity and in this case against a cold fresh down pour of water. The shocking visceral effect of the water enabled the artists to focus internally on their breathing which produced unusual and surprising movement patterns for me to capture.
