When movement meets light magic. Stepping into the vibrant world of pole dance projection art. Every spin tells a story, and every ray of light adds a new layer of emotion.

🩰 Honored to photograph the new 2025–26 company members of @twincitiesballetmn in a vibrant, collaborative session. Tethered monitors, team energy, and pure joy in the studio. Shoots like this are why I love commercial work.

Years back, during a workshop, I asked contemporary dancer Melina Stinson to embody the energy of different animals.
Here, she became the Tiger — raw, intense, and fully alive.

Studio Poise

Prompt in ALT

#aiart #blueskyart #digitalart #aicommunity #balletart #dancephotography #studioportrait #performingarts #poiseandgrace #finedetail

Ultra-detailed portrait of a ballet dancer leaning casually against a smooth concrete column, standing en pointe with one foot delicately crossed. She wears a vintage-inspired, brocade-patterned corset leotard in muted tones, paired with soft ivory wrap shorts and pale tights. The background is softly blurred, revealing hints of a modern studio with warm wood cabinetry. Natural window light creates a gentle, even illumination, highlighting the fine textures of fabric, skin, and hair, with a shallow depth of field lending an intimate, contemporary elegance to the composition.

Obsidian Swan

Prompt in ALT

#aiart #blueskyart #digitalart #aicommunity #balletart #blackswan #monochromephotography #performingarts #dancephotography #cinematicportrait

High-contrast monochrome portrait of a prima ballerina poised en pointe in a full black swan costume, the tutu’s dense feathered texture fanning outward in perfect symmetry. The background is softly blurred with classical architectural reliefs, placing full emphasis on the dancer’s sculpted posture and intense gaze. Light falls in a precise, directional beam, highlighting the sheen of satin pointe shoes and the rich matte finish of the bodice, while the grayscale palette enhances the drama and elegance of the scene.

Dancers embody a rare balance of strength and grace, each movement a fleeting work of art. This cyanotype print captures that duality—her power held within a moment of elegance.
