Natural DanceThe Natural Dance series is a celebration of the power of women dancers breaking free to express themselves intuitively in natural settings. Using a slow camera shutter speed to capture a lengthened moment in time, the Natural Dance images have an impressionist feel, resembling watercolor paintings. They encompass the full spectrum of nature, modern dance and ballet photography. |
|
DancessenceThe Dancessence series explores the pure heart of feminine dance and the exquisite sculpture of the dancers’ bodies: soft, strong, subtle, powerful, fluid, cursive, rhythmic, and elegant. The images incorporate ‘light painting’ techniques that Eastman developed—where the dancer is static in a completely dark studio but imagining herself moving, suspended in time and space. This gives the prints a look and feel similar to charcoal drawings. |
|
Dream RidersDream Riders is a series of magical moments where bareback riders trained in Native American riding techniques are moving in total harmony with their horses in a dreamlike state. A slow camera shutter speed is used to capture a lengthened moment in time, creating an impressionist feel. |
|
Natural RhythmsThe Natural Rhythms series captures simple rhythmic forms in nature. The series represents Eastman’s earliest work which inspired his later interest in dance. |

Slow CurvesSlow Curves is a developing project inspired by a poetry line, “the slow curve of a woman’s cheekbone.” The photographs are abstract female figure studies created to resemble soft, ethereal drawings. |
