dance/focus,life as a dance, stage shows 1 Life As a Dance - Pain

It was a lecture about dance creation (which included  dance parts as examples ,) presented by Sally anne Friedland the  choreographer of " Private Collection".It was a very interesting evening for a large group of youth visiting the country.

Thanks for vieing.

The choreographer's name is: Sally-Anne Friedland.

Thanks for Viewing

Pnina, what a beautiful and mysterious photo. THe lighting on the head is stunning and the dynamic of the hand extending through the translucent veil creates a sense of tension and urgency. 

Nice photo and appropriate caption. you do capture pain in this. compliments -koushik

The shimmering yellow is eye-catching.  Her hand creates the illusion of a head bowed and veiled in mourning... at first glance... only later do I find her face, which even in the veil is illuminated.  

Well done, Pnina.

Take care,

Mário

Pnina, a fascinating image. You have been able to capture her pain in Neo-classic style. Her outstretched hand and open mouth ,reminds of the painting "Death of Marat" or crucifixion. Superb composition,exposure , light and yellow against black ,make the image.

Hi Pnina! I really like this. The  transparent golds in the  fabric is wonderful, so interesting to look at against the strong black. The way the light hits it is lovely. I have been looking at this for several minutes now, I keep rotating my head trying to see it from different angles. I wonder what this would look like if the figure was diagonal? Not a criticism, I just think it might be interesting. This would be great from any point of rotation. I really enjoy your beautiful images. Warm wishes from Canada, Linda

Great use of light to create such artful capture! Bravo.

Hamid.

As always, fantastic work.

Alberto

Tony, thanks for your nice evaluation, it is a dance creation that I like a lot ,as it is  very touching each human personal life and memories.

Kaushik, thanks for feeling the scene.

Donna, the light in general was not  the best as is was in a studio in Yaffo, but my general experience was of help...thanks

Mario, thanks ,nice to see you again.

Amal, your analogy is fluttering, "The death of Marat" painted by Jaques/Luis David, is a well known work of art. I think that what is similar is the feeling of pain..Thanks Amal . (for your wide knowledge as well.)
 

Linda, thanks for your thoughts and connecting to it and to my work. ,I agree that it can be done in different directions, but it is already a bit diagonal in line, and the way it is placed on the frame was, I think, passing the message. I'm glad it took your attention for more than a fraction;-))

Hamid, thanks for your stopping by and comment.

 Alberto,thanks as well for your  following my work and comments.

Intense and powerful composition.  The agony on her face with her hand extended convey the title eloquently.  I like how you caught the details of the veil so precisely. 

Her hand appears wrenched from her body.  The veil emanating from her hand almost appears like a jellyfish that has trapped her.  I like the yellow ominous light.

it took me a while to make out what's going on here, JeffS uses great word to describe the light imo as ominous is exactly what comes also to my mind. The title perfectly fits the scene and I think the large area of the dark background has a great impact on the overall creepy atmosphere of the image. Best regards.

Composition and light are perfect.

dynamic and expressive...

Magnifica toma. Excelente composicion y encuadre, asi como una estupenda exposicion y momento captado, con una sensacional luz y tonos. ++

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Big WOW, Pnina, such an interesting composition and the tints of yellow and brown are just fantastic.

Adan thanks. It was  a very difficult  setup ,as it was in a studio and so the light and  surrounding were not  ideal, but my experience was of help....

 Thanks Jeff, ominous  yes ,light and pose were my strong feelings  depicting human pain and fear , hence  the title.

 Wieslaw, as I wrote to Jeff, I'm content that you find it ominous as well , as it helps me know that I have succeeded to translate my feeling to a frame of photography that conveys   the substance of the dance expression to:  " Life as a Dance"...


 Bob and Rajat, thanks both of you ,Tolo and Vadim  thanks as well, I appreciate your connection to this one, and your  comments.

Very dramatic and intriguing. The Composition is just perfect bringing a balance to a scene that seems to in movement but with no hint about direction. The color palette  is beautiful and strongly contrasted to the totally black background underscoring the drama. What is going on is for me impossible to tell from the scene but impressive it is. Beautiful work Pnina. I'll included in my favorites.

I'm honored.

Thanks  for  such a nice interpretation. For me as I wrote it is "Life as a Dance" ,and the scene is photographed at  the dance called " Private Collection". I think that each of us has his private collection of life experiences and memories.

Thanks again, Anders.

My God, Pnina, this appears to be some dance macabre. But the colors and tones are superb and it's really a distinuished picture.

When I see this collection of you (dancers, I mean) I feel jealousy (a bit) Not only because your talent (that I haven't) but your opportunity to get inside the scene in itself, the chance to be present with them capturing every single trace of magic, like in this case. I love it, not only because the inherent beauty but because it make me think, demanding me an effort to interpret it, to feel, to get in, so, the kind of works that I love, the essence of photography.

Jack, coming from you is always a genuine pleasure .

Carlos,where have you been?It is so good to see you again, and read your always thoughtful ,well expressed, and  poetic evaluation ,( and I hope to see again  your mysterious and special photographs ). I'm honored!
