Plymouth Actor Headshots & Dance Photography Studio.
As a rather rotund gentleman of a certain vintage, watching this unfold is a profound sight for sore eyes. My creative process generally involves me attempting to demonstrate a pose with all the elegance of a wardrobe falling down a flight of stairs, only for the dancer to miraculously translate my flailing into a line of breathtaking artistry. It is a daily marvel. (Though, upon quiet reflection, I am beginning to suspect that my decision to demonstrate these ideas while dressed in full tights and a tutu may have been a slightly unnecessary addition to the workflow.)

It is, rather surprisingly, a hint of genuine life behind the eyes.
