For this project Ben Hopper decided to work with circus artists and dancers for their physical appearance and capabilities.

The list includes international acclaimed performers and graduates of the world’s leading circus schools, École nationale de cirque (Montreal, Canada), CNAC; Centre national des arts du cirque (Châlons-en-Champagne, France) and National Centre for Circus Arts (London, UK). Like a mask, the layers of body paint and powder disguise the identity and release something animalistic from within.

Thoughts of pole dancing often invites images of scantily clad women and ogling men at strip clubs. Not for Netherlands-based photographer Bart Erkamp.

After Erkamp started dating a woman involved in competitive pole dancing, he was astonished by the power and agility of the athletes in the sport. He was so entranced that he even began to see it akin to artistic gymnastics, right alongside other Olympic sports. Soon, he began taking a series of photos of local pole dancing athletes to showcase their amazing talent to the world. Erkamp wanted to highlight how pole dancing is anything but a pastime for places of ill repute.
