Marina is the queen of contra-body, a position wherein the upper torso is facing Guillermo (the lead) while her lower body is twisting into a back step.

focus
Last week's blog featured the results of low light and moving the camera to achieve a sense of motion in the dance of Guillermo Cerneaz and Marina Kenny, tango dancers from Buenos Aires. They were in Taos for two weeks at Taos Tango, giving private lessons, presenting workshops, and performing. These photographs are of the couple at Old Martina's Hall in Ranchos de Taos, showing an intense but easy focus which allows their dance to be acute yet lush and supple at once.

Nice to see the motion stopped this time so that the intensity of their expressions and the quiet focus comes through so strongly. The black and white brings a nocturnal and timeless aura to the dance.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. They are beautiful dancers and I wanted to make sure and capture some of that.
