Striped Ballerina (Patreon)

This was my first shoot with a bonafide Ballerina, Benita, AKA That Danish Girl.

She wanted to shoot some stripe pictures, but it was evening, and no sun.

So I set up a lamp as far away from the curtain as possible, attached a grid/honeycomb, and shot these.

As such, these were not that successful: 

The stripes need to be hard and defined to work, but I still like the images as they show the build of a top athlete.

Back then, Benita was training 6-7 hours daily dancing or performing for the Royal Danish Ballet.
