Gray used black and white phtography to remove what he calls 鈥渢he busyness of colour鈥� and to enhance the shapes and drama of the dancers.

鈥淚n a good photo, raw emotion is more important than details.鈥�

Gray said the photography was a challenge because of the extremes of lighting and the element of the unexpected.

The exhibit will be run until May 10. The Summerland Arts Centre, at 9525 Wharton St., Summerland, is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
