35 Photographs Demonstrating the Beauty of Ballerinas

Ballerina Project by Photographer Dane Shitagi is really an outstanding project showcasing the graceful beauty of ballerinas. He initially started the project in Hawaii and Honolulu but he continues exploration of the beautiful ballerinas and finally takes it to the streets of Boston, New York and Toronto. Shitagi prefer to shoot outside the studio in order to showcase his creativeness and inspiration which according to him only a living city can bring.

By explaining the project Dane Shitagi says, “Ballerina Project is more about the dancer than the dancing.”I tried to take pictures of the ballerinas – not of their dancing. It’s not your typical dance photography project, but rather, "an etching of ballerinas' hearts and emotions." Each posture is more creative and expressive than the next. Hopefully you will enjoy the curves, movements and juxtaposition of beautiful Ballerinas as much as I have!
