An homage to unifying art of dance, as captured over the course of 10 years and across four continents. A follow-up to the photographer Matthew Brookes’s 'Les Danseurs', published in 2015, 'Expression of Freedom' once again deep-dives into the melliferous world of dance, celebrating the togetherness and inclusivity found through the art form.

They are representatives of the most prestigious dance companies in the world, such as the Paris Opera Ballet, the Royal Ballet in London, La Scala Ballet in Milan, Stuttgart Ballet and the NYC Ballet Company.
