PERSONAL POLE PROGRESSION

The purpose of this album is not to show the perfect but the imperfect.  I felt it is as important to demonstrate to you how determined I am to achieve perfection in all the pole positions, as any of my students.

I have asked a good friend of mine and professional photographer Vik Martin of www.heyokah.co.uk to use her skills and catch in real time, my pole training.

Vik and I wanted to capture not the serene or smilie face with perfectly placed form on the pole, but what hopefully any poler could relate to as they edge their way to their own personal goals.  We also felt the need to feel natural infront of the camera, avoiding shoots that where staged.  So I basically set myself moves that are my nemasis and poled trained to reach some point of achievement.  There are no positions that are staged, Vik basically kept the camera shooting at every possible point.  Vik would change lighting to give the session that professional touch.  She has learnt alot from the session and has already got ideas that she would like to try out for our next session, so it looks like I might become her pole mews.

And last of all I want to thank Vik for changing my views of professional photography.
