Photographer Justin Tyler Close shot the prolific choreographer Ryan Heffington in his LA home – a place he does not often spend time in. Ryan has spent the majority of his time traveling the world choreographing pieces for the likes of FKA Twigs and Florence Welch; he is best known for his dark and beautiful dance piece performed by the 11 year-old Maddie Ziegler in Sia’s video Chandelier. Justin, who is also often displaced for work, connects with Ryan about their strange relationship to what we call “home.” This shoot follows Ryan as he wanders about his home, getting to know it again after so much time away.
Home is a Strange Stranger
