DANCE WITH THE DEVIL, or the shadow-dancer...
#AB_FAV_HANDS_FEET
Those 2 ballet dancers (he is Christian Dedeene), he was for 5 years a solo and star dancer with one of the greatest choreographers of the century, Maurice Bejart.
I was fortunate to have him in our studio a couple of times, and what an experience it was, each time. She has her own Ballet school, Rose d'Ivry in Ostend) are true professionals, otherwise I would not have been able to use this technique, ONE take...no PS! FILM!
This is the result of having those 2 wonderful ballet dancers in your studio, who are up for a challenge and something different.
How do you capture their graceful, often powerful movements and action in such a static medium?
And challenging it was, as ballet dancers need to be able to fix on a point to execute the figures correctly and land on the same spot.
This image is taken in a completely dark studio. Technically challenging though it is, the results always thrill me.
A bit of lateral thinking of what 'action' can all mean in photography, given the 'still' nature of the beast.
We had tremendous fun and are happy with the results.
This has been achieved by strobe flashing. A PROPER STROBE PHOTO!
Modern photographic stroboscopy in its simplest form is a method whereby a subject in motion is lit by repeating flashes of light while the shutter of the camera remains open for a period of time long enough to capture the subject in multiple locations during the time of exposure... not just using 'flash' as many seem to think.
As always, thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)
