More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
“If emotion is best described as energy in motion, thenphotographer James Houston can be described as one who captures that energy and transforms it into art.”
—Karen-Jane Eyre, Editor, Not Only Black + White
“His images suggest a thousand complex narratives. Amazingly, he captures the most ethereal art form in a way that a choreographer, whose work dies with the curtain's descent, can only dream of.”
—Graeme Murphy, Artistic Director, Sydney Dance Company
Dancers from America’s leading dance companies are brought together in award-winning photographer James Houston’s unique photographic project created to benefit AIDS charities—Move.
Move, a collection of stunning black-and-white photographs, captures the raw energy and emotion of movement. Pushing the human body to its physical limits, Houston creates unique images that go far beyond traditional dance photography.
Over 50 of New York’s leading dancers, from companies such as Paul Taylor, New York City Ballet, Pilobolus, David Parsons, and Alvin Ailey, gave their time to support the project. Included in this impressive lineup was renowned principle dancer Desmond Richardson, who starred alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones in the movie Chicago.
Houston sculpts and directs the dancers’ bodies with his graphic eye, creating powerful photographs that move and inspire.
All author royalties will be donated to DRA (Dancers Responding to AIDS).

more intense than the sample pages show
16 Jun 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
After reading reviews in magazines, I was really interested in this book. What I found was VERY surprising and so much more intense than what the reviews and sample pages show. It made me wholly appreciate the beauty of the human body even more. Maybe I missed it somewhere but I had no idea the book was for AIDS ("Move for AIDS"). Also, IT WAS A HUGE BOOK. It really gave a second level when I was going through the book.
The diversity of the dancers was amazing, definitely targeting a more world wide audience for a universal cause.
Only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because of some of the blurry pictures towards the back. The first couple I appreciated for its intensity and 'movement.' But after awhile I started getting a headache.

Beautiful images galore
10 Mar 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is an amazing piece of work by an extremely gifted artist for a superworthy cause. The content is beautiful and inspiring through the mere aesthetic of the dancer's form and grace. It speaks without words. My only issue with it was the actual physical condition of the book itself. There are some light scratch marks on the cover, a deep pockmark-like dent on the front, and one of the corners is smashed.
