Photographer Paul B Goode has produced the fourth issue of his magazine, VISION. In this issue, Paul looks back on his formative years and at the people who influenced his development as a photographic artist in the realm of dance.
Paul’s earliest work shooting dance was for Dianne McPherson’s dance company and for Ekstasis Modern Dance Company back in 1981. Following the path of his development, this reflective issue of VISION includes essays by choreographer Charlie Moulton, and by dancers Linda Kent (Paul Taylor Dance Company), John Carrafa (Twyla Tharp Dance Company) and Marie de la Palme, as well as Paul’s commentary on his work shooting at ABT. The current issue also features lavish spreads devoted to the dance drawings of Valerie Sonnenthal and to the photography of Gordon Munro. It was Munro’s work for the 1981-1982 Danskin catalog that initially inspired Paul B Goode – who was Munro’s assistant on the Danskin shoot – to venture into dance photography himself.
Rounding out VISION #4 are some of Paul’s images from a recent studio rehearsal of the Steps Repertory Ensemble, which is now under the artistic direction of Bradley Shelver. My dancer/friend Lane Halperin contributes a beautiful essay to accompany Paul’s images.
VISION #4, as well as the magazine’s previous ssues, may be ordered (either in hard-copy or digitally) via Paul B Goode’s website: LINK.
