A Morning in the East Village
Dane Shitagi
Ballerina Project (July 11, 2010)
What strikes me most about this photograph is the strength of the dancer's pose. Even though the dancer is petite, her presence in the photograph is accentuated by the strength that she displays. She is surrounded by large buildings and wide expanses of road, yet she is not lost amongst her immense surroundings. The photograph's focus on the dancer is emphasized because the photographer centered the dancer within the frame. Also, the color of the dancer's dress coordinates with the color of the pedestrian traffic light that she is hanging from. This causes the dancer to appear as though she is as strong as the buildings and other durable structures surrounding her.
