Working as a husband and wife team, we collaborated with the Martha Graham Dance Company, to create a book to celebrate their 100th year anniversary. The book is a 304 page large coffee table book and has over 250 images. We photographed the dancers in over 25 of Graham's most iconic works. The images were taken in the studio and on location, capturing the emotional and powerful messages of Martha Graham's works. Martha Graham is the oldest dance company in America and one of the most influential. Published by Black Dog & Leventhal/Hachette on October 2025.
