曼哈顿的一个摄影师乔丹·曼特专门创意了一个“舞者就在我们中”（Dancers Among Us）项目，
纽约摄影师（Jordan Matter）在2009年开始了“你我之间的舞者”的拍摄计划。邀请保罗·泰勒舞团的舞者们走下舞台，穿着平日的服装，在街道、地铁站台、海滩、图书馆、舞厅、教室、浴室等日常生活场景高高跃起，翩翩起舞，然后用镜头抓拍他们在空中“漂浮”的瞬间。
在城市街头和公共场所捕捉舞动的镜头，舞者与环境的关系耐人寻味，过客的反映与舞者的表现相得益彰，分外有趣。人生匆匆太匆匆，我们何不放慢脚步，聆听世界、欣赏风景。
Every once in a while, we'll come across a photo series that makes
us want to jump for joy.
I got to ask Jordan about the inspiration behind this series.
"The idea for this body of work came during a performance by the
Paul Taylor Dance Company. I was inspired by the dancers’ stunning
combination of artistry and athleticism. Their commitment obviously
extends beyond the rehearsals and performances- it is a way of
life. I began to photograph these dancers as everyday people. In
the photographs they are away from the stage, yet they cannot leave
dance behind. As they go about their daily routines, they do so as
dancers. This speaks to the power of a passionate life; if you’re
fully invested in something, it is always with you."
I caught up with Matter to ask him about the photo, below, that was taken at the the Museum of Natural History. Just how did he get that shot? He explains, "I just took that photo yesterday. It's in the front lobby of the museum. I had the hardest time figuring out how to shoot it. Every time I would include the entire dinosaur, the dancer would be dwarfed. And, of course, we weren't allowed to be shooting there at all. The dancer got yelled at three different times, but incredibly we weren't kicked out. When I decided to include only part of the dinosaur in the shot, the image came alive. By then the guard had an eye on us, so we only got three more shots before the guard screamed at the top of her lungs, "Why are you doing that? Will you stop? Will you stop!!" And we did, because we got the shot."
"I believe in the strength of a life’s mission. If you dedicate yourself to a career that inspires and excites you, this commitment will be your foundation. As these dancers ride the subway, go to a baseball game or cross the street, they remain dancers; it is their lifeblood. Featuring the top dancers in NYC, these images haven't been altered in any way - what you see is what they did." - Jordan Matter
