Aduayom’s experience with ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance allows her to understand the nuances of the human form. Raised in Togo and Paris and based in L.A., she refers to her work — which has appeared this year inVogue Italiaand on the cover ofTime— as “visual poetry,” blending high art, photography, and emotions.
“As a performer I was never mechanical, I was always emotional. I make the people whom I photograph move, and sometimes that generates a feeling outside of their known parameters.
