About the project
The photo story ‘Love is like a Dance’ was shot by photographers Attila Kenyeres and Fee-Gloria Groenemeyer. The story is about two men dancing an emotional tango together to show their love for each other. We wanted to examine what would happen when two photographers with two different perspectives interpreted the same story. How their gaze changes the narrative and emotion that is explored through the images.
The two different styles of photography represent the duality in tango itself. Fee’s more composed, disciplined and structured shots represents the tight rules, the strong poses and silhouettes, the power of the characters. On the other hand, Attila’s dreamier and hazy close-ups and detail shots represent the passion, the sexual tension and lust between the dancers. Even the act of photographing the subjects was like a dance itself. Each of the two photographers dancing around the two subjects trying to get their shots.
Both structure and passion are essential in tango and create the enigmatic synergy it lives of. This translates into the editorial through the combination of both artists’ images melting into a singular holistic vision.

Poem
UNREHEARSED INTIMACY
Tiptoe through the open door
Curiosity overcomes fear
When the earliest sense roots
Steps rise in tides with gravity
And brush across the timber floor
Curling joints can lead or follow
Particles that break free in orbit
Will enter the liquid state of intimacy
To fill the shape in mist or void
With the palm around the waist
A double-headed drum for others to exist
Thoughts rotate extended fingertips
Scale and fall up with soft frequency
Open chests regard nature built
Their eyes hum in motion as calligraphy
Two curved spines shape our own
Flattering shadows in unison
While DNA winds into each other
A cloaked figure in the past
The wish is not tomorrow ́s reality
Until you move today
