Dance is one of the most brilliant and yet most difficult things to photograph well.  It involves split second timing, precise technique and a deep understanding of your subject. So sometimes it is much better to throw away all the rules and try something completely new…! That is exactly what I did last month when I photographed dancers from Jive Nation at the Marylebone Summer Fayre in London.  Right from the start I knew that I wasn’t going to be satisfied with conventional „sharp“ images – there were too many dancers in too small a space so it was impossible to isolate a subject. Instead I used a slow shutter speed technique of dragging the shutter by twisting the camera about the lens axis during the exposure.  I first saw this demonstrated by Zack Arias at a GPP workshop last year and have been waiting for a good subject to try it out……
