Belly Dancers by the Bonfire

This past weekend I had the opportunity to come to a party my friend invited me to with another group of belly dancers for a great time around a bonfire.  It was such a great evening and no one seemed to mind me taking photos.  Here are a few moments captured from the evening.  I really consider the first one my favorite.  Click through the images to go to my flickr where more images are.

Bagoas - portraits of a belly dancer.

Bagoas was a lot of fun to spend a day with and get some photos done. My work tends to focus more on fine art, composition and space. This is my first time working with a dancer or performer as a subject, so I was able to try a lot of new things. He did a great job seeing my vision and helping to create these images. His attitude in front of the camera and on stage is that of a rock star. He knew the persona he had perfected and it's truly captivating.

More of Bagoas can be found at his website.
