I love working with pole dancers. The pole community is supportive and happy and everyone’s doing amazing things to and with their body. Pole dancing has made amazing changes to the lives of a lot of people.

One day last year I had an idea to put together a series of images that would illustrate the amazing things people did on the pole. There’s a tremendous beauty in the human body, and I wondered if I could capture that raw, uncluttered beauty without making it about naked people by doing it with silhouettes.

Well, that project is done. The final result is 42 pages of strong women who’ve done and do amazing things, along with their answers to that eternal question, why pole?
