Dancing in the Streets: Tribeca

Join American Photographic Artists Board Member and dance photographer, Ashe Husein, for another of our "Dancing In The Streets” Photowalk series. The group will take it to the streets of New York with two classically trained ballet dancers. Ashe will be there to assist or answer questions during the outing. Not only is this a photography event, but a chance to meet and talk to other photographers on a relaxed Sunday morning.

We will meet up at the steps in front of Soho Photo Gallery and then move on to photograph our two dancers on the streets in iconic Tribeca locations

Ashe Husein is a photographer and educator who has spent his life balancing between countries, cultures, and professions, it is only fitting that Ashe’s artistic style also be defined by the in-between moments. While Ashe was previously a primarily landscape and street photographer, what originated as hesitant dabbling with portraiture has now culminated with collaborations with New York’s most talented ballerinas and the discovery of his unique talent for capturing what Ashe refers to as “the unexpected in the expected.”. Ashe attributes his work’s documentary-style tinge to how he got his start in photography — taking photographs for his high school yearbook — in one of the Middle East’s most notorious conflict zones. Capturing what Ashe described as “a pretty normal high school experience” in a region primarily photographed for its conflicts stoked his passion for capturing prevalent subject matter in a personal and more positive light.
