 This image is definitely an oldie. When I owned my own studio portrait business, several of my clients were dance studios. I photographed over 500 ballerinas a year.....mostly little girls and teenagers. When I saw this challenge I knew I wanted to try to match Edgar Davis’s beatiful work. I was hoping to find something that would be similar to his famous painting,Ballerina Girl.
