Ballet is inspired by the book of the same name by Alexy Brodovitch.

Published in 1945 it was the only book he authored as the photographer. In this book he photographs ballet companies visiting New York City capturing both Practices and Recitals using a 35mm Contax Camera and available light.

In Brodovitch’s book,Ballet, he captures the true essence of Dance better than traditional still image could and that was my entire goal in my last semester of college.

To capture the raw feeling of each sport I shot.
