This started because I saw a photo of a fire performer posing with lit fans. It was a beautiful image and I wanted to take one just like it. A couple of years later I saw someone mention someone who did this on Facebook. I didn’t know her but I sent her a message to ask if she was interested. She was – and knew other people that did similar things. I haven’t taken portraits of circus performers for a while, and need to get back into it, but it’s certainly been an interesting experience and I’ve also made new friends.
