McDaniel Farm Dancers Photo Gallery by Richard Calmes at pbase.com

McDaniel Farm Dancers

We took 5 dancers to a most unusual park in Gwinnett County, north of Atlanta. It is a beautiful farm with old restored buildings, gardens, streams, and wooded areas.
Jessia Collado joined us from Houston Ballet as well as Jody Blevins, another graduate of Gwinnett Ballet Theatre.
I used a Canon 5D at ISO 200 and a Canon 24-105 f4L IS Lens. I used 5 foot gold and white reflectors for most shots with flash fill for a few.
Lisa Sheppard-Robson art directed and was able to bring out the beauty of these incredible artist athletes.

This somewhat similar to the petunia in onion field comment. More so the rhyme...'Mary Mary quite contrary'.. The flower garden poem/rhyme. I think because of the colors, costumes and poses. It's like a flower garden. You have the best ideas Richard!!! :) Bravo to all the dancers!!

Hehehe, I wonder how many people world wide look at these shots and think... "Whow"... You are a true ambassador for the art of dance. Your reputation is growing and your name is becoming a household name for top class ballet photography. The story is definitely getting out there and it is being recited in all corners of the globe. Your message is a strong one: These dancers deserve our admiration and support. they work hard and have earned it.

Cristine Varney		17-Sep-2007 00:37
How delightful they all are. The leaping in the meadow captures are especially appealing to me. Just how I imagine myself looking when I am having a little burst of joy for no special reason, and dance in my backyard or somewhere that no one is looking. Only in my own head do I approach anything close to these beautiful souls. I think it is the fact that I am also female. Thank you, always, for sharing their talent, artistry and inspiration.

Awesome!

You are the master Richard. Beautiful work, as always! v

Guest		19-Jul-2007 14:53
These are amazing, not just for the physical capabilities of the dancers, but also your ability to capture them in this environment. Your other work is quite stunning, but this work (especially the bridge picture, in my mind) truly elevates you to something beyond. I am humbled, to put it mildly.

Just what I was hoping for...Such a natural progression and wonderful environment for dance, looking forward to many more.

Hodero		18-Jul-2007 07:33
This is going to be your best gallery ever. "Dancing poses in open nature." What an increddible idea,and what increddible beautiful girls you took with you on camp. Good for us you are not laying back to enjoy summer ;-) Big V.

Gus Rosenfeld		18-Jul-2007 00:36
I had a hunch you were already there, regarding my suggestions ;-) This is one of those OMG! type galleries. The fact we are sort of familiar with the gals, and their hard enduring work, makes the the "Girls just want to have fun!" attitude carry even greater impact. I'll wait to pick a favorite or three. Kudos to the all of you out there in the heat. I know "fun" isn't as easy as it looks in front of a lens. Congrats'! g

CIS		17-Jul-2007 23:51
