«UNREACHABLE PLACES»

My picture «UNREACHABLE PLACES» was taken during a ballet gala with principal dancers from the most prestigious ballet companies in the world.
The choreography made the dancers appear as one and the movements were in perfect syntony. It went straight to the point of two halves finally finding each other, finding wholeness.

I was in love with the idea behind the choreography and spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect moment and eventually was lucky to get this magnificent shot where the movement, light and music were at their climax.

Finally I am thrilled to reassume the whole concept of my work in a nutshell:
Being able to capture the depth of an artwork and it’s universal truth is the fundamental reason of my work and the difference between nowadays mainstream black and white photography and a true peace of art!
