This series of photos captures dancers in a whole new light.
David Perkins has photographed dancers for almost ten years, but in his new series Home Stage he decided to go ‘back to basics’ and look at dancers in their own homes.
Everyday tasks look anything but basic as the dancers bring a beauty to everything from making the bed to doing homework.
Dance is rarely just a career – for most it is a life long passion and this this set of stunning photos reveals just how committed they are to the cause.
Perkins said: ‘After a while, I came up with a concept to photograph dancers in their own homes. Usually when people photographs dancers they are in wide open, expansive places. In parks, in front of monuments, in the city streets, even in the forest. But I have never seen photographers photographed at home, in their small private confines.’

Dancing from morning to night
Just chillin
