Looking at a photograph is different from watching a performance. The camera freezes a moment in time that immediately becomes the past. It preserves an instant that is usually not evident to the audience who is watching the dancer pass through it. I’m happy to be able to preserve some of these moments.
Having had the privilege of photographing many of the world’s principal dancers, my personal goal is to expand that body of work and in some small way leave tangible evidence of the beauty they created.
I am offering this Limited Edition Print of Natalia Osipova, taken at City Center in New York City on February 12th, 2012. The total number printed is 50 with 5 artists proofs.
Natalia and I came together to create an image to announce her joining The Royal Ballet for the 2013/14 season, and a marketing piece for The Royal Ballet to promote her appearance in their production of Swan Lake.
The dimensions of the image are 16”x24” individually hand printed on 19”x28” Hahnemühle 325gsm Fine Art Baryta paper. Each numbered print is individually signed by Natalia Osipova and myself. Your purchase will also include an 8×10 photograph of us at the time of the shoot and a statement of authentication. I only release a few of these fine art prints each year. It is the only signed photographed of her’s offered to the public.
