I really like the power that comes through with the photo. The movement of the dancer, the flow of the cloth, everything just comes together. The sky light above that is coming down and hitting the dancer is beautiful. She appears to be coming right off of the page. The mirror image also provides an interesting image, and the dancer herself is very elegant, strong, and controlled in her movements, as if she were a bird landing. It is great that the camera itself was not caught in the reflection of the mirror, as that would have ruined the setting. Great job, as usual.

Amazing images. The the mood, attitude and movement. Do you allow people to use as painting reference. Please see my gallery of ballet paintings. I will respect your decision. Thank you.

Great capture of movement; the low angle really emphasizes it. Also, in a mirrored room we can't see the camera. Awesome work!

Thanks Ron for commenting -- much appreciated! I was in the mirror but a bit out of sight to the right.

I was thinking the same thing... you flipped the letters, till I realized they were glass doors, reflecting the light above and left of Jazz. Illusion aside, it's a nice capture (stop action) in low light. -Mark

You can see the same door (not in a mirror) by the way in my previous deviation "Grand pas de chate developpe"

Agrees with DaddyHoggy .  I didn't immediately realize it was a mirror shot, though I was wondering whether you had flipped the image to get the lettering straight on the doors.

The stenciling on the door actually was facing outwards, so it was backwards when viewed inside the studio but straight when seen in the mirror!

Yes, that's why I first thought you had flipped the image.

Dancers and musicians are wonderful people to photograph.

Fantastic use of the mirror to create a partner (and yet you remain carefully, cleverly out of shot!)

Yep, just off to the right.
