Q: What is unique about your dance photography? 

A:  Noel believes that working with a photographer should always feel like a collaboration. “

It is a dialogue between two creative minds that are able to both agree and disagree. Ultimately, you are creating an artwork together that says as much about the photographer as it does the dancer,” he says.

His background in fashion, fine art, and portrait photography has helped him. With his current work for “The Dance Project” he is featuring the movement, energy, strength, and stillness of the dancer. 

“My work presents each dancer’s journey as a personal experience where the commitment is shown through the perfection of each movement, the mastering of technique, and the creation of a physique capable of handling the demands of both.”

Noel continues, “At times the most simple of movements can prove to be the most beautiful. The attention to posture and the tilt of the head can say more about the nature of dance than a perfect arabesque.”
