Description Studio shoot from 7/31/2009

Not something I typically do since my niche is mostly street/photojournalism given my job. I thought I'd try something different from my norm and stretch my boundaries a bit.

Nice lighting! Not sure about the composition though, she seems to centered in the shot to me, possibly if she were more to the right and have the negative space to her left might have made a better statemnt . Just an opinion.

I am not a professional photographer or dancer, I just know that this is beautiful. I applaud both model and photographer.

Because of the shadow, you could have framed off by the knee and gave some room for the arm at the top. Cuts off the middle of a dramatic pose, so the composition is a bit disruptive as is.

I love the lighting and pose otherwise.

Stretch, stretch! The series caught my eye in a vast sea of thumbnails. It reminds me of work I saw at an exhibition years ago, by an Irish painter, Gene Lambert. He did a series of photographs of a disabled artist dancing. They stuck in my head because they were so beautiful, this is a lot like one of those images.

Thank you!! However, as a dancer she's very capable! She's the same dancer seen Gravity II with her arm up in the air, and you can see just a bit of her in Gravity I as well.

I would say this is the favorite of the series so far. I love the single light dramatic lighting. As well as the pose defiantly fits the title. At first I had wished to see more of her face, but I think it grew on me. It has a great tonal range, all in all a good shot.
