'Ballerina Story' by Martha Suherman

 

The art of photographing dancers with a slow shutter speed in order to capture their movements through motion blur is a well-established technique. Mastering this technique is not easy, but it leads to delightful results when it is correctly implemented.

In order to get good results, it is necessary to slow down the shutter speed on camera while the subject is moving over a dark background and with proper light. A proper combination of movement captured on camera, digital edition and the photographer’s creativity will produce images that captivate the observer without doubts.

This kind of photography combining movement and subject details, results in a magical contradition.

Enjoy this selection of  excellent images from 1x photographers.
All of them have a particular beauty that triggers the attention of the viewer.

Hallo, my name is Florian. I am mostly impressed by the wonderful dancing Scenes. I am working for German Black and White Print-magazine Schwarzweiss and produce there the head-portfolios. The magazine has the highest print-level which is possible in magazines. I would like very much to work with many of those fabulous dancings scenes in the German based magazine. How can I manage this? If possible, please contact me under my e-mail-adress [email protected] I would be happy to receive a good answer. Florian
Some works are really great!
