“Dance Pictures in our Near Areas” – The photos

PHOTOGRAPHER:

Rune Aasen (smugmug.com) Is the leader of Innherred Photoclub and is an entusiastic hobby photographer.

THE EXPRESSION:

In our work, we discuss an idea, then we find a location that fits. Then we focus on colors, lights, form, movement, and composition, sometimes we have a prop like smoke or a shawl. This collab has the last years given me as a dance artsist a wonderful place, time, and space to express  my creativity thought  the medium photography, and get out and get some fresh air! Many people in Innherred will relate to the places that these photos have been taken, while some cannot be recreated, like buildings that has been taken down the last years etc.

BACKGROUND

Rune and I met in November 2019, where we did our first photoshoot “forest-elf”. This collab continued, and we set a goal to do 12 different ideas in 2020 and managed.  Something that was there for both of us each month. A creative breath of fresh air from the turmoils and pandemics. Spring 23 this collab has lasted for three years and over 20 photoshoots.

ARTISTIC COLLAB:
We both are in charge of the process and the end result. Both come with location ideas, organizes , I buy the clothes and fix my hair, I warm up, prepare, and figure out all the movements and poses, Rune take the pictures and we both choose the pictures we both like in the end.

A PHOTO EXIBITION / EVENT
We have last two years been working on creating a photo-exibition. Spring 22 plans changed and we are now creating a photo-event for spring 23. First here north in Trøndelag where the pictures where taken, then I hopes to show it other places in the country.
