I was fortunate to be an official photographer at the Pole Factor 2018, an annual competition hosted by the Pole Project and is open to both amateurs and professionals.Months of training and hard work all lead up to this one evening for these incredible pole dancers from around Cape Town (and as far as Namibia).
The challenging aspect for me was the lack of lighting, as well as the fact that I’m no pole dancer.Thankfully, my experience as a movement artist and having a wife as a dancer gave me the experience to know what I was looking for in regards to movement and aesthetics.
There was a nervous, yet confident, energy in the change rooms as the performers got ready and warmed up for the show and once it started this was translated into a fantastic performance by one and all.
