About "Ballerina"

About the artwork

The shot was taken in a completely dark room. The ballerina moves very evenly, in this case with one leg and her upper body.
In this case, the camera is open for about 2.5 seconds. Within that time, 1 flash flashes 10x, which is set in the camera.
It is still quite difficult for the ballerimna to change her pose slightly in 2.5 seconds very evenly. So from standing on two legs to standing on one leg and stretching the other leg as high as possible.

I love working with dancers, gymnasts, athletes, because they know their bodies well and have good body balance.

The technique used is called strobe photography.

It usually takes a few attempts to get 1 good shot.

For almost 5 years, I worked with different dancers within the project: "Out the comfort zone".
Dancing on the street, on a roof, in a cafe, a library, empty church, powder shoots with trampoline, in shallow water.
It was a feast for all, full of challenges.
