Dancers at home - eraeber

Dancers can make the hardest move look effortless. I wish it was as easy with house chores...

This is maybe why I started this project!

More seriously, I love building images from scratch, starting from just a concept. Any object in the frame and lighting is chosen carefully. This is why there is no better person than a dancer to bring such concepts to life. They have perfect control over every muscle of their body.

With this in place, we improvise. We try a few movements and iterate until we have that perfect image that tells a story. And often gives the viewer a little smile.

I shoot these images in our living room in Redwood City, California. And it is always incredible fun.

If you are a professional dancer in the area, please reach out at info@ericraeber.com. I am always looking for new dancers and would love to collaborate.
