BALLET by Thibaut Grevet (@thibautgrevet)

“This project sums up everything I’d love to do. From the athletics side, which echoes my background in shooting skate, to the art and fashion dimension — an opportunity to explore new techniques, experimenting with how Gjon Mili used synchronized flash, and interpreting it in my own way through a new approach.

What’s amazing about dancers is the way they’re able to use their body to fit the best photographic aspects — position their fingers, hands or shoulders, know exactly how much tension to put in the leg. They understand how the body reacts through the audience’s eyes, and the same can be said about the camera.

At its core, the project reflects every aspect of performance: preparation, repetition, training, concentration, and the calm before the big moment.”
