Have you ever seen pole dancing? Dancing on a pole requires sufficient strength, flexibility and muscle endurance to complete this difficult dance.
What will be the different visual experience if pole dancing is moved into the water?
Photographer Brett Stanley used to specialize in photographing performance artists, such as circus aerialists, fire-breathing acrobats, stilt walkers, etc. Later, he began to think about whether he could move performers into the water. , how about taking photos that have a different feeling from those on land?
This time, Stanley worked with X-Pole, a professional pole dancing team, and spent several weeks taking these stunningly beautiful photos.
Because there is no gravity in the water, dancers need to adjust the pole dance postures they are accustomed to on the ground. On land, gravity is downward, but in water, the dancer must overcome the buoyancy of the water pushing people upward.
Although they are all top-notch pole dancers, that doesn't mean they are all good at swimming. Holding your breath and controlling your breathing in the water, as well as maintaining posture and dancing, make pole dancing underwater more complicated and difficult than imagined!
Water not only makes the light softer, but also makes the dancers body lines more supple. Because of the efforts of the dancers and the ideas of photographer Stanley, we can see these dreamy and sexy photos.
