Photographs from the 2008 UK Open Ballroom Dance Championships, held in Bournemouth. This gallery begins with current Latin World Champions Riccardo Cocchi and Yulia Zagoruychenko, and Latin superstars Michael Malitowski and Joanna Leunis. I have always been inspired by performance and artistry. My mother was a professional dancer and my sister is a writer specialising in dance. I aim to capture the emotion, passion and enjoyment of the dance in my photographs.
