Morton's Dance Center : Field of Screams

Three years ago I asked Elijah Morton if I could photograph the annual MDC event at Field of Screams. Their competition team performs and there’s a hip hop dance battle and it’s full of energy, passion, creativity, and artistry. Exactly the kind of place I love to be with my camera. Thankfully he said yes and since then I’ve photographed numerous shows, rehearsals, and other events for the studio, but this event is a highlight every year. I’m always struck by how I can physically feel the energy the dancers bring to the stage. Their passion for what they do is so evident and by the end of the night my face hurts from smiling so much because it’s just so amazing to be around. So grateful for the chance to document this team that has grown to feel like family.
