Final 1-fife

The central idea of my series is to demonstrate the strength and dedication that is needed for ballet. I want to show that although ballet looks very beautiful and effortless, it takes a lot of strength and muscles. For an activity like ballet, you need to be really involved in it and be focused. You also need to be able to be pushed hard and while doing that, still look pretty.

 

In my photos I tried to focus on showing the dancer's muscles that that they developed through their dedication to ballet. I tried to have the dancers go in positions to show their muscles in a way that isn't girly or frilly, and that it takes hours of hard work. For one of my pictures, I chose to have a boy and a girl partner to show that it is a hard thing to do and that they need much strength to be able to do it. And for another, I wanted to show the dancer's pointe shoes and how it is all ripped up and torn on the bottom from working hard in them. For all of the photos I made sure to edit them to make the dancer's muscles stand out and be very prominent.
