Movement at the Still Point: An Ode to Dance

Movement at the Still Point is a stunning photography book that captures the beauty, grace, and emotion of dancers in posed tranquility and vibrant motion.

Renowned portrait photographer Mark Mann brings his unique vision to this celebration of dance, showcasing 142 artists from various genres including ballet, jazz, African, tap, Broadway theater, hip-hop, ballroom, and more. With a homage to Mann's hero Irving Penn, he installed a backdrop of old monochromatic muslin, creating an intimate and dramatic setting for the dancers to shine.

From principal and lead dancers from prestigious companies such as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, Martha Graham Dance Company, New York City Ballet, and many others, to dance personalities Misty Copeland, Carmen de Lavallade, Tiler Peck, Chita Rivera, James Whiteside, Omari Wiles, Xin Ying, and more, this book is a testament to the emotional and physical power of each dancer. Mann's photographs are not just static images, but rather a witness to the expressive and talented subjects that take control of each frame.

With shimmering black and white images, Movement at the Still Point is a must-have for any dance enthusiast or photography lover.

Don't miss out on this stunning tribute to the art form that captures the dynamism and energy of both dance and photography.
