About

I am Christopher A. Dominic, a photographer based in The Hague. Dance comes first; people come everywhere else.

Where the audience never sits

Most of my dance photographs are made where the audience never sits: in the wings, at the barre, at the mirror before a performance. Around the dance I photograph stage work and events, and I keep two series of my own.

  1. On a dark stage in violet light, a dancer whips her long hair through the air beside her partner.

  2. Young dancers in black leotards wait in line at the barre; the nearest, in glasses and a tight bun, looks down.

  3. Black and white: a dancer does her make-up at a dressing-room mirror ringed with bulbs.

Series

Facing Fear began with my own fear of approaching strangers. Urban Quiet collects the cities I walk through, in the moments between the crowds.
