Photographies of boxers & ballerinas - by John Goodman

NEW YORK, NY - The photographer John Goodman is having a thing for the human body and how it moves.

Goodman states "I explore the contest between light and dark, power and grace, grit and tenderness".

Boxers + Ballerinas is his long awaited first solo exhibition in New York. This galla demonstrates the extremes of what bodies can endure.There is no greater contrast in human locomotion.

The Boston Ballet dancers that Goodman photographed backstage, while they were preparing for their performance, emits their own contradictions. These ballerinas are magical, according to the photographer. His belief is that angels can't be photographed, but their halos can.

His work has appeared in New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire.

Since 2008, Rick Wester Fine Art (RWFA) has presented primarily photographic works.
