You don't have to stray
The oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Pearl Jam
If like me, you believe everything stems from nature, everything we do, every move we make, everything we touch, eat, smell, feel and create. They all honor, and are all a replication of something originated by rock, sand, water, weather, darkness, light, earth, wind and fire. Movement and dance in particular replicate the movement of fire, wind and water.
With this in mind, you can see and feel the impact and energy of the crashing ocean waves in Angel's beach dance. The ocean appears restless, and this restless force is channeled through Angel's movement, crashing, jumping, flying, still for only a few fleeting seconds to re-energize before another wave of energy crests and rolls over the sand. Some of Mark's images of Angel almost looked incredibly unreal due to the height of his jumps and how light he appears. It's as if the ocean breeze gusted, lifting him up, and carrying him across the sand.
Angelspins first connected with Mark (StudioMGPhotography) on ModelMayhem, and they soon began talking more on Instagram about working together. Being a dancer, Angel knew from Mark's images, especially his many shots of dancers and aerialists, that Mark knew how to beautifully capture the energy of a body in motion.
'Working with Mark was probably one of the highlights of my modeling career if I would call it that. He knew what he wanted and tried to get that from me. I think he really knows how to utilize a models strengths and highlights that in the photos. It was just a great experience overall.'
