A Moment in Movement
One of the things we try to capture in sports or performing arts photographer is the moment at the peak, the split second when the subjects are at their apex of movement. This is where the photographer has to be prepared; no time for meter readings, no time to compose, no time to think. The photographer has to act on reflexes alone.
This image of two young dancers was taken at the zenith of their movement. They may have held this position of the count of three and the photographer had to be ready. The composition is elegant with a clean black background that lets the performers standout in all their grace.
The photograph highlights the skill of these two young ladies with elegance and style. This moment has been captured for the view’s enjoyment.
