“Aerial hoops”
Click on any image to see it full size
Continuing my Aerial project, with its aim of trying to capture Aerialist skills and athletic abilities, I was fortunate to be able to work with Fanny Müller, featured in these images.
Fanny comes from Hungary and travels the world as an Aerialist, Dancer and Model.
Fanny makes these poses look effortless and easy, but of course they are not, they require core strength, balance and concentration to hold these poses while hanging from the suspended hoop more than 3 metres from the ground.
The biggest challenge for the photographer is to know when to capture the image, in order to show the artistry and skill that the aerialist is displaying as she creates these shapes.
