Join portrait photographer Mark Mann on set as he photographs some of New York City’s premier dancers from different disciplines. Natural light photography inspired by Irving Penn.

In this video, Mark photographs the dancers as they dance, then gets up close for portraits. This series of photographs was heavily inspired by the great Irving Penn (one of Mark’s favorite photographers), and exclusively used natural light. The dancers he worked with are some of the premier dancers in New York City and are from The Martha Graham Dance Co., Complexions Contemporary Ballet, and Dance Theatre of Harlem, among others.

For this photography series, Mark has partnered with choreographer Loni Landon, who helped organize everything and make it happen! We also have Alex on set digiteching and making sure Mark gets the best possible images.

The dancers are Havoc Marche (@officialkinghavoc), Larissa Gerszke (@larissagerszke), Lloyd Knight (@lloydknight), Rena Butler (@renabutler), Alexandra Hutchinson (@a_ballerina_), and Loni Landon (@lonifaye). They are all exceedingly wonderful!
