Beautiful Dancers On A Pedestal



Ballet Dancers have a body like no others. From the age of 4 these dancers have trained their muscles as they grew and at the same time, they learned to control all of them.
This gallery is dedicated to the female ballet dancers beautiful instrument.
I have taken away the colorful costumes and the smiling faces to focus attention on their incredible form, strength and control.
Instead of a pure black and white treatment, I left a hint of detail here and there.
The pedestal is actually a 24" clay flower pot painted off white with a plywood top. It was a little unsteady and tipped easily. Some of the poses are quite difficult and some were even dangerous.
There were 2 spotters, one on each side of the pedestal just outside of camera range...and they were needed frequently!!
And so we have beautiful dancers on a pedestal.....

If you believe this gallery has merit, please vote so others may enjoy these marvelous artist/athletes

A very enthusiastic Vote.

My mind and heart are in awe of these dedicated, amazing ladies.
Your description of this gallery illustrates the why your photographs
are always at an elevated artistry. The how must be because you, too,
have been training, learning and perfecting, striving and achieving.
How fortunate for all of us, that you are so especially gifted.

Just when I think you have achieved all there is to capture, sharing
the uber talented Corps Du Ballet (sorry if that is spelled incorrectly %:),
you continue to top yourself over and over again.
Your everfan and friend, cristine

These have a really graceful and classic appearance. I think the touch you added with your always masterful lighting (as opposed to just outlines), really accents the form too. These are great, almost like icons of grace.
