Andrew Eccles and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

I am thrilled to say that in exactly one month, I will be seeing the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform.  Since it is currently on my mind, I am sharing some photographs of the dance company shot by Andrew Eccles.  Interesting reads are this very brief bio on Eccles and this interview from 2010 in which he talks about his having assisted Annie Leibovitz.  Hope you enjoy! 

I've added tags such as "conceptual" and "portraiture" because Eccles shoots more than just dance.  Check out his website to see more of his work.
