Excellent work, Thomas!
And it’s nice to see a ballerina in blue jeans.

Great photo, of course, well taken for sure by Thomas902

The first words in my thoughts seeing the photos... "Lighter Than Air."

Greatly appreciate your wonderful words John... They are deeply appreciated...

"...it’s nice to see a ballerina in blue jeans..." John she is hoping to get signed by a major agency in NYC...
Top Fashion Model's salaries are an order of magnitude greater than even the best ballerinas and NYC is the epicenter of the worlds fashion industry, albeit Paris might be a serious contender here.

Please stay safe John and all the best on your journey.

Thank you so much for your very kind words and continued support raymondh
"...such a masterful command of the light!..." You're way too kind... My decade old 308 Sekonic light meter is pivotal in the illumination efforts here... Still at ~$200! such an amazing tool.

Please stay safe raymondh, all the best on your journey.

Donald many thanks for your very kind words and continued support... It is greatly appreciated!
(..."Lighter Than Air."...) This talented ballerina began her training at age 3... Her leg strength is phenomenal!
She currently is doing squats with 140lbs, which is considerable more than her body weight.
btw, she recently asked "Santa" for a squat rack... Covid-19 has limited access to her favorite gym.

Please stay safe Donald and all the best on your journey...

Thomas - as always, I love the professional photos you share here. The thoughtfulness - from makeup to background to hair, you don’t let the details go unattended.

I was hoping you could share your lighting/background setup here - I have been considering working with some local ballerinas and have been toying with different background/lighting ideas. Is it just a huge black background or is she well lit in a darker room and you cleaned up stray lines in post?

Keep posting and stay safe!
