Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals. ~Charles Baudelaire
I’m a huge Lena Jacome fan! Last year at about this time I was invited to shoot Alma Schnell’s dance concert and happily agreed. There were tons of talented performing artists and I became a new fan of Flamenco dance.
One artist in particular that struck me as hugely talented was Lena Jacome, who dances while her equally talented husband, Chris Burton Jacome plays Flamenco Guitar. There is a tangible magic in the air while they perform! Lena is focused, poised, and visibly passionate. Chris seems to build the very notes she dances on. The pair naturally compliment each other and entrance their audience.
I was delighted to be invited back this year to shoot Alma’s show, the proceeds of which will benefit Brazos Albierlos children in need. This is one of my favorite shots of Lena at last night’s concert.
