Bellydancers!

I love shooting dancers. On this blog you’ll eventually see quite a bit of the work I do photographing musicians and dancers, as I often combine my background in music with my passion for photography. Today’s post, though, is about a shoot I did a few months ago for a bellydance fundraising event, “Helping Hips”.

When I first moved to Chicago, one of the first people I met was Mae Phillips, dancer and bellydance teacher extraordinaire. Mae is still one of my closest friends in Chicago, and although I don’t dance myself as much as I used to, I still love to shoot bellydancers. So when Mae’s friend Moxie called, I was super excited. The event itself was great and the dancers were superb. See below for some of Chicago’s finest bellydancers.
