Dance Photoshoot with Netta Yerushalmy & Dancers

For our recent photo shoot together, Netta and I were commissioned by Norton Owen Director of Preservation at Jacob’s Pillow to make photographs in response to John Lindquist’s images of Alvin Ailey from 1961 at the Pillow specifically for an exhibition in the Doris Duke Lobby.

We didn’t want to recreate the images – instead, we wanted to put our own twist on things, to show our modern interpretation of the photos.
