It was my great pleasure<\/strong>, back in 2016, to be introduced to this group of aerialists and circus skill artists who put on a show every year (alright, most years!) in aid of charity, under the name of Cirque Du Chennai after one of their regular charities.<\/p>\n

I’ve been pleased<\/strong> to be asked back regularly since then. It’s a world I knew nothing of and I was captivated.<\/p>\n

Obviously<\/strong> it’s a gift to a photographer, particularly one who specialises in the Performing Human. What better example of the body’s capabilities than the things these people make look so simple?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was sweet<\/strong> to discover that for all their amazing abilities, they are just as likely as all the rest of us performers to be their own worst critics.<\/p>\n

They’d come off the stage<\/strong> grumbling about all the mistakes they’d made, and once I’d picked my jaw back off the floor, I’d think “Holy cow, that was the cocked-up version?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it’s a show<\/strong> with an audience, these photos are all taken from the wings, or sometimes the side-aisles, and as always, by whatever lights are being used.<\/p>\n

Once the Powers-That-Be<\/strong> get their collective elbow off the great Pause Button, I would like to find other similar groups to work with. Perhaps even closer to me than Kingston-upon-Thames, which isn’t close to me at all, frankly. Any Aerialists in Kent<\/strong> want their photos taken?<\/p>\n

I’d also<\/strong> like to move into staging photoshoots of this kind of thing.<\/p>\n
