Life as a Dance....

Life as a dance....

 

Choreography, Nimrod

 

 

Thank for your feedback.

Thanks

Raw emotion - the composition, the negative space, and the graininess reinforce this feeling. Muscles rippling, and her legs...Pnina, this is awesome! Well seen, and captured. If I had a nit; it'd be that I'd like to see his left foot completely included; but I realize that this is a function of photographing the dance. Great work! Cheers! Chris

wow

I like the way you play with light... Fantastic!

What a beautiful scene, what a great shot, I love this one a lot..

Life is a dance, from the first note of our cry, to the final crescendo of our death. All the darkness surrounding the dancers and the aggressive way he's grasping his partner makes this feel violent to me but if I open my heart to it he's catching her from a fall to earth....

Dramatic, powerful and aggressive. In my mind this makes reference to the "Rape of the Sabine Women" theme. A fascinating capture Pnina.

Thematically, this exists nicely with your other photos that depict male-female struggle. I like how her touching feet mirror his hands. Tense, but thrilling.

... is the list of people who post. I open this shot and see a group that would all be welcome to post anything on my portfolio. I join them in congratulating you on this very powerful shot. Interesting choice of lighting; in my experience most dance is heavily side lit but this seems to be a single spot from almost straight above. Was that a follow-spot or a fixed instrument? Which leads to the final question, was this staged for the photograph or part of the performance? Either way, I truly envy your access to such wonderful subjects.

Chris, you are right about the leg, butI think that in this image it is not crucial;-))

 

Roger, thanks for the flowers ! WOW is great, but I prefer some words

instead of this single one... LOL

 

 

Armindo, thanks for your feedback !

 

Vladimir,I'm glad you connect to this human situation !

 

Susan, it is one split of a second of a whole choreography, very human situation.Interesting interpretation, I think that your last sentence is the right one according to the feeling I have recieved seeing the full creation.

 

Adan, Interesting association, I'm familiar with that painting... and the story is that it is relations of rejection and acceptance. Human life situation in a dance.....

 

Jeff, you are a psychologist isn't it life ? I connect to dances that are having human components in them.

 

Dennis, the lights on the stage are the lights of the performance, (when it is photographed in a rehearsal I write it down). It is I who have to decide in a splite of a second which part I want to show in my interpretation of the dance and which of the lights on the stage I want to use( there are some). It is not an easy task, as the dance has many parts, I choose the scenes of it that I feel strongly connected to ,even if it was or was not the choreographer's intention..

 

Thanks to all of you for the thoughtful feedback.

It is a full of strong. Regards.

... after you describe the process. Great work, Pnina. Immense feat of concentration.

Another excellent capture, Pnina. Nice scene and colors with very good lighting. Regards!

High contrast and localized lighting exaggerated the emotions. Very well seen.
