Tango

My love affair with tango took root a few years ago at an enchanting location; in the foyer of Florence’s Teatro della Pergola. This artform manages to combine several elements of photography that have always left me spellbound: the quality of light and candid, rhythmic portraits. Needless to say, I was captivated from the beginning. When I entered the world of tango, I realised that I would be able to fuse my desire to offer a personal interpretation with that of re-creating a sense of harmony and movement with high-key lighting on facial expressions, tension running through arms and the delicate embraces of the dancers. Tango is an expression of movement to musical rhythm. It is intense and joyous, projecting both hope and drama. First and foremost, however, tango is all about the milongas; dreamy locales each different one from the other, where thousands of people meet, modestly outfitted still all protagonists in this fascinating expression of the joy of life, this awesome work of theatre without a stage. I consider all of my photos of tango to be “stolen”. When possible, I delight in entering the scene among the dancers, relentlessly seeking their most intense expressions: the women’s eyes gently closed along with interweaved arms, leg movements, revolving bodies. Quite often the subjects I am photographing are caught by surprise, but this has invariably been met with understanding and acceptance. This is another reason I fell in love with tango; through its power to lure men and women alike, both the young and the not-so-young, all beneath one roof, each united by the power of the embrace.
