OK just as well I'm not the jealous type! Just walked into his office and there he is watching them on youtube. Says it's because he needed to get the spelling of their name right.
Seriously, can't wait until I get a spare minute to watch some footage of them myself. I have to say that the tribalists do tend to photograph very well - their costume to skin contrast is high, which is good in that sort of lighting, and they tend to move more slowly so the shutter speed can be slow to let lotsa light in.
The lovely Barry stayed up very late for you all last night and now all the pictures have been uploaded to the gallery. The website is www dot ikonography dot net. Go to the clients galleries menu tab, then type in "raqsb" and hit enter. The gallery should pop up in a new window.
Please please bear in mind that the number of pictures of each dancer bear absolutely no relation to what Barry thought of the performance. It is all purely down to other things that he had to do, and the way we had to change our approach to the whole job as the event wore on - it was our first time at Raqs B and next year it will be a hoe different story. On Friday we had the studio set up and then (duh!) realised that most of you wouldn't be in full costume until the evening and the part of the building we were situated closed at 6pm. So on Saturday Barry switched to shooting on the fly, but had workshops to photograph and other stuff to do, so he couldn't concentrate on the performances (that was the video guy, Alex's responsibility). There are more photos from Sunday than Saturday as Barry was more able to concentrate on the stage work than the rest of the event. We're very lucky that he and Alex were able to be there on the Saturday evening, that wasn't part of the original plan.
Hope you like them, any queries please email Barry directly at barry at ikonography dot net.
