PHOTOGRAPHER
My name is Stuart Dance and I now live in Raleigh, NC. I am a graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts and have been involved with the arts since an early age. I grew up with a darkroom in our house and first began shooting on a Pentax K1000 (which I still use from time to time) and simple, homemade pinhole cameras. I have an extremely large collection of cameras dating back to the early 1900's, which I rotate in and out of use.
Photography has been a saving grace in my life. I've struggled with crippling alcoholism for the past 20 years. I have literally been on the streets, homeless, broken and lost many times, but somehow always had a camera. Photography has always been there for me. It's the one creative light that has always led me back to finding the self that I thought I had destroyed and forever forgotten. Photography validated my existence through the years that I thought I had no one and almost literally had nothing.
