Q: What are ballerinas made of?
A: Dedication, terribly hard work and many sacrifices. But not only that. The extra ingredients show in Dane Shitagi’s “Ballerina Project“. This collection of photographs is all about the charm, fragility and beauty of a life of precise timing and grace. The pictures portray professional or soon to be professional classical ballet dancers. The pictures have been taken over a period of 10 years.
