Photographer’s ‘JUST DANCE…’ exhibit on display at SOPAC

Photographer Steve Vaccariello’s ‘Brit in Netting’

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — The Herb & Milly Iris Gallery at the South Orange Performing Arts Center hosts “JUST DANCE…” — a new exhibition by prominent photographer Steve Vaccariello — from Nov. 14 to Jan. 19. A reception open to the public will take place on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 5 to 8 p.m.

In “JUST DANCE…,” Vaccariello’s vivid and sensual portraits capture an unbridled creativity; a guileless exchange of artistic expression between two masters, each on either side of the camera lens. Vaccariello’s direction is simple and straightforward: “Just dance….” Then, on film, he immortalizes their liberated collaboration.

“When I first saw Steve’s work, I was instantly captivated by his use of light and shadow on the human form. And after conversations about his work, I became even more impressed by his desire to capture these incredible images without retouching them afterwards. A true master of his craft and we are thrilled to be showcasing his work in The Herb & Milly Iris Gallery. I am certain you will enjoy these beautiful images as much as I do,” gallery curator, Jeremy Moss said.
