Dancessence

Peregrine Images is pleased to announce its new photography book, Dancessence. These 31 exquisite black and white images celebrate the pure heart of feminine dance and the exquisite sculpture of its instrument. The Dancessence images were created by photographer Hal Eastman, using an unusual time-lapse photographic technique. These stunning images can be likened to charcoal drawings. Lois Greenfield, noted dance photographer, has described the images as “pure forms, floating in a sea of black . . . abstract, graphic, illusory.” She observes that Eastman’s work is “a synthesis of the literal and emotional in dance, spawning a whole new vision.” The books are individually crafted with a unique sliding cover of handmade Nepalese paper. They are printed by an unusually high quality 10 micron quintone stochastic process. Limited edition fine art giclée prints are also available from the Dancessence collection. They are produced in collaboration with renowned printer Nash
