Hazel Hankin's images of Mambo dancers are featured in today's New York Times Lens Blog.
The images are from Hazel's ongoing project, Mi Mambo.
The project brings together two of Hazel's passions — social dancing and photography. Work from this series was exhibited in a one-person show at the Houston Center for Photography and has been featured in a DoubleTake magazine cover story, the Spanish photography magazine, La Fotografía, and the German magazine, Aufbau.
“I wanted to show what it felt like to be dancing. It’s extremely visual. It’s a challenge to capture things in motion. When I first started it was hard, because you don’t know what’s going to happen next. When things are in flux, to get a good picture requires everything coming together in a certain way.”
