INTIMATE

INTIMATE is a photo series gathered through my last 5 years of dancing with people in the Netherlands. I was drawn to the dancefloor as a soul, seeking moments of intimacy, togetherness and collectivity in this increasingly polarized and distanced world we live in. When I first got into this community, I wasn’t a professional photographer. I just showed up one night because I already had my camera on me, and this was the birth of my current profession, which is looking after me as we speak.

These photos are results of the intimacy I felt dancing with strangers, momentary lovers, friends and any soul I felt connected to. The camera functions as my imaginary dancing partner, thriving from how immersed I can be to the night. This combination of passions and the stark contrast of capturing still moments of an immersive experience trying to communicate feelings is why I take photos. And I love how intimate I can get with it.
