This large-format photo book offers an intimate visual journey inside Circus Flora, a one-ring circus known for blending storytelling, music, and live performance. Rather than focusing only on spectacle, the book documents the entire process of creating a circus — from rehearsals and backstage work to the energy of live shows and the quieter moments in between.

Stanley photographed the circus “from start to finish,” aiming to capture not just performances but the people and effort behind them.
