Layers of the Soul
Kim Weston states: “Layers of the Soul” is series of my latest years photographing Native American dancers from various tribes at pow wows on the East coast. The recent works focuses on capturing the essence of spirit in movement, while the large scale photographs allow you to become one with the image. My process of taking these photographs stems from my direct connection to my Native heritage. When I shoot, I place myself on the ground near the drum. I shoot in rhythm with the drum, the singers and the dancers. This takes me on a meditation journey and as a result I get to share my experience with the Native American community, you the viewer and the photograph.”
