I've always loved the idea of taking something ordinary and making it extraordinary. Though, taking pictures of a ballerina in the woods is "nothing new under the sun," it was for me. While taking these photos I definitely did not have a title in mind. I knew I wanted to mention Paris and ballerinas but I didn't know how to articulate it properly. One night, as I was watching the end credits of a documentary, the creator's name appeared: Jungles in Paris. (check them out, they have some neat informational videos & photography: https://www.junglesinparis.com) I thought, huh, what a different twist to capturing an audience. I imaged what an actual jungle would look like in Paris. Extraordinary. Instantly, the way I saw Paris changed. Because if it could have a jungle amongst it; it could have a desert, mountains, &tc. "A Jungle in Paris," in my eyes, are two ordinaries that make an extraordinary. Enjoy!
