The present is to live or to lose: In conversation with movement director and former ballet dancer Pascal Johnson

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Pascal Johnson, @pascaljohnson a former dancer with the Dutch National Ballet, now a movement director and producer who has worked for brands like Apple, Calvin Klein, and Nike, on a photo series that grew into something deeper. What started as a visual exploration turned into a dialogue about presence, memory, and what exactly an image can and cannot truly hold. Together, we approached the process as an open-ended reflection, using movement and stillness through the visual medium of photography to investigate how the body carries memory and inhabits the present.

At the heart of this series is a complicated question: can we ever really preserve something fleeting? We often believe that by permanently affixing a body into image that we are holding on to something true. But permanence does not equal meaning. Time strips away context, and leaves behind a thin surface, a static impression of a figure that once moved with thought, fear, laughter, and love. What is left is a fossil of ego, a trace of something that was never meant to be still.

Through Material

1 months ago

I’ve been putting together editorial packages for a while now and a few have ended up published in magazines, helping the people I’ve worked with reach a much wider audience.

I’m now offering this in an all-in-one press ready package.

Photography, a written interview or profile, and a publication-ready layout.

This is for anyone who has built something worth talking about but doesn’t yet have the press materials to prove it. Brands, creatives, businesses, anyone who needs more than a bio to tell their story properly.

Press coverage builds credibility that advertising can’t buy. But most people don’t have the photography, the writing, and the design to make it happen. Let alone all three working together.

Interested? DM me.
I’m taking on a small number of these to start, if it sounds like the right fit, let’s talk.
