Nicole Moore: Flamenco

Flamenco happens fast. A photograph slows it down. A raised arm, a turned head, the tension in a hand or the weight of a body can hold the attention long after the performance is over.

What comes through in Moore’s photographs is not just the movement, but everything around it: the concentration before a step, the force of a gesture, and the exchange between performer and audience.

Her photographs also show the people behind the performance—the discipline, personality and emotion that make each dancer’s flamenco their own.

Nicole Moore’s photographs become part of the visual record of flamenco in San Antonio—preserving moments that, in performance, exist only for an instant.
