Nick Adams “Soar” from my Dance Series project

Nick Adams "Soar" from Dance Series Project

The amazing Nick Adams, currently starring in Priscilla Queen of the Desert – The Musical in the lead role of Adam/Felicia on Broadway.  I photographed Nick in late 2010 for a dance & fashion story.  Working with someone of Nick’s talent was a pure joy.

The photo was shot in Bathhouse studios in the East Village, NYC.  The image is pure, no manipulation in producing this amazing leap with shirt above the head and tie flying.  Capturing that special airborne moment with an intense yet handsome look was a challenge but I’d say we Nail It!

Recently the image was donated to GLAAD OUTAuction in NYC and sold to raise money for an important and wonderful cause.
