Monochrome Awards 2020 - Samantha Black Photography

So I'm grateful once again to have received an honourable mention in the 2020 Monochrome Awards for this portrait of my daughter.

I call it - Dancing Alone

I don't get the opportunity to do many dance portraits, but they are really special to do and are always close to my heart.

My daughter stopped ballet a few years back because she loved to tap dance much more and ballet just wasn’t for her. 

After 13 years of ballet she proved herself to be a graceful, strong ballet dancer. I always loved to watch her dance, her dedication was always on point (pun not intended!) and her dancing was beautiful to watch. 

I’m not sure why I’ve never shared this until now, but this image not only captures her effortless motion but for me there’s also a melancholy feeling which seems to draw me in, just that little bit closer.

My girl 🖤

London Portrait Photographer

Hey, I’m Samantha, a London Portrait Photographer.

I’d describe myself as a soulful creative. I've professionally photographed adults and children since 2012. My art is part of me; I do everything from a completely genuine place. I ask that you do, too. My experience is that it just works when we both come from this place.

Let’s work together to create something you’ll love.
