Artist's Comments

Dancer/choreographer Naiomi Goldberg. We wanted something that was not just a standard dancer's portrait. Then I saw her stretching and I saw those feet, just covered in bruises and cracks.

When your little girl wants to be a ballet dancer...show her this...

it's a beautiful portrait. and if my little girl wants to be a dancer, and really wants to be, this will be the PERFECT picture to show her. because it shows the hard work and sacrifice that ballet will demand.

sorry. i just love the pic ;) :heart:

Ouch. This picture tells so many stories. I love the rich tones and contrast. Great composition and lighting. But most of all you have captured the essence of this person, much more so than a portrait of her face would have. Gorgeous.

Amazing...

The postire is so delicate and yet strong...it's the sinthesys of teh two antithesys just like ballet... ballerinas are often taken for granted as fragile, when the dance actually brecquires a great deal of vigour and physical endurance.

The wrinkles and the veins as well as cracks, when takne out of context, and just as texture are simply beautiful.

And the fact that her feat are emerign out of dark into the light , to be seen in tehri full glory od deterioration..is so reminiscent of the fact that they wear those paralyzing ballet shoes, that cover up the mutalation, and serve a decoartive purpose...

Truly a wonderful shot! :clap:
