Audition Photos

I had a ballet shoot today in the studio - several of the dancers at EBT needed pictures for their upcoming summer intensive auditions. One image in particular struck me as I browsed thru them in Lightroom. It took a bit of clean up, but I'm really happy with how this turned out.

I believe the lead up to this particular shot was her encouraging the dancer to "fly away like a beautiful bird."
