The Ballet
Like a dream becoming reality the Ballerina Project is a series of photographs created by photographer: Dane Shitagi... The project has been photographed entirely on traditional photographic film and not with modern digital cameras. The majority of ballerinas who have posed for the project are professional dancers and the minority are advanced ballet students in renown dance schools.
These images of ballerinas doing their thing in the city are so beautiful and non-cheesey (as ballet photography often is). I did ballet for a very long time ("Reeeally?!" is always peoples' reaction; Gee thanks, guys!) and was pretty terrible at it. The amount of strength, control and dedication required is mind-blowing and admirable
there're many more photos HERE
p.s. I'm a sucker for a good documentary, particularly one that falls in the Child Prodigy category (watch THIS and THIS, if that's what you're into too), and have really been looking forward to 'First Position' since I watched the thrilling trailer a while ago
I've been searching for somewhere to watch it online but get NSFW results if ya know what I mean :(
ah. beauitful
