About The Artist
Cody Choi is an exceptional dance photographer whose journey into photography began when he toured the world as a dancer with Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake. Over the course of the three-year tour, Cody photographed his fellow dancers and their performance spaces. The rest, as they say, is history... We love Cody’s shots of dancers mid-air in which he captures not only the overall movement of the dancers’ bodies, but also the distinctive movements of their clothing and hair.
Cody trained as a dancer in Hong Kong and London. He made a name for himself as a photographer when the Place Theatre in London named him the winner of their photography competition in 2014. Alongside his photography, Cody still works as a professional dancer and choreographer. No doubt being at one with his craft is part of what makes Cody such a fine dance photographer. His approach, he says, is not only to follow the movement of his dancers, but to ‘breathe with them’.
