This is a moment I captured while a dancer in one of my projects was improvising. The way the sun's rays pierce the center of this photo captivates me. The way the rays cascade across the figures neck creates a vulnerability, and this angle creates a feeling of being splayed. The sunlight compliments the dancers position in the heat it creates. The way the sun illuminates the grass spreads the heat, despite the condense ball of light in the center. This image pulls focus to the isolated event of sunlight in the center, but also allows the light to open and pour across the earth. The figures shadow is crawling out of the image. This light shapes the dancer as well as the climbing branches and strong trunk in the corner. I color of the grass was very green this day, but the sunlight creates a neon color in the grass, brightening it, electrifying it, saturating it. The tilts and contours of the dancer's body are complimented by the linearity of the sun's rays. Something about the light is softened in seeing the light filter through the figure's lace dress. There is high contrast in this photo in relation to the light, the angle, and the colors.
