THE BIG TOP AND THE PURSUIT OF DREAMS
.
.
In 2017 I reached out to local circus group Vau De Vire Society to see about photographing them. Initially I was drawn to the excitement of the show and unimaginable feats but as I got to know the artists and crew, the true magic of the circus was revealed. I have been graciously given a glimpse behind the flashy curtain, revealing the raw emotion and grit that lives in beneath the surface. I am deeply moved by the strength, passion and bravery in pursuing a career in circus. Vau de Vire Society is a family of hard working, driven people that push the boundaries of their bodies and spirit every day. My photographs tell a story of human perseverance, emotion and artistry. I am focused on contrasting the superhuman acts with the real people behind them. My goal is to publish this body of work by the end of 2021. The book incorporates photographs of performances and intimate moments that happen behind the scenes. There are tales from the performers woven into the imagery throughout.
