lifesize


This past Christmas i was in the local Nutcracker production. This brought about great photo opportunities, but instead of finding them on the stage i discovered the best ones were behind stage watching the dancers in their natural unknowing beauty. In this picture the ballerina is shown watching her fellow classmates dance with great concentration. Luckily she was standing in front of one of the wings so it created a perfect black backdrop. The bright lights on the stage create great light for a profile shot of her, creating an outline of her neck, back and arm. Also her tutu catches light towards the back so it forces your eyes not only to look at the brightly illuminated section of the photo but her dimly lit back and sparkle of her tiara. The stage makeup and the placement of her hands elegantly on her tutu also make her look like a porcelain doll.
