French dancer Arthur Cadre captures an intense series of images that feature his own contorted body. The entire series takes place in the wide open settings of beaches, fields and rocky hills. All of the images were taken in various locations around the world, but they all have an eerie feel.
The subject strikes the oddest positions that challenge the body’s ability to move and bend. Each image incorporates the setting by allowing the subject to blend in or completely stand out. There is one image that shows the subject’s back as he is curled up among a collection of smooth boulders that line the beachfront.
This stunning image series titled 'Wonderland Creatures' highlights Arthur Cadre’s abilities in dance, acrobatics, parkour as his contorted body effortlessly holds each intimate pose.
