New York photographer Dane Shitagi’s "Ballerina Project" photography project lasted for nearly 14 years, using the lens to record ballet dancers in the natural environment after they have left the stage. The beautiful figures dancing gracefully on the streets, in parks, on public transportation... and even on public transportation combine classical ballet with scenes close to life, making classical ballet different from the formal feeling on the stage. Come to a new interpretation.
During more than ten years of photography, Dane Shitagi has accumulated more than a thousand beautiful photos, and he still continues to record every moving moment of ballet.
In addition to active dancers in the dance world, the protagonists in the photos also have many retired dancers. These dancers all show their most beautiful and natural postures in Dane Shitagi’s lens, as if the whole world is their stage. of fearlessness. In a series of silent pictures, either black and white or in color, the graceful figures of the ballet dancers are stilled, and at the same time, it seems that people can feel the inner confession of their stage life. Everything is so quiet and beautiful that it takes your breath away.
