For over 14 years, Honolulu-born photographer Dane Shitagi has been photographing ballet dancers unlike any other dance photographer before him. Dane photographs his ballerinas, many of which are soloists for prestigious dance companies, virtually everywhere–except on a stage. Beautiful ballerinas are often presented in urban environments such as nearby a highly trafficked road in New York City, Downtown L.A. or at Rue de Rivoli in Paris. Thousands of photographs forming the famous Ballerina Project, with over a million followers on Instagram alone, contains several ballerina moments captured in Bushwick. And we do adore the results! Gentleness and graciousness of the dancers complements the industrial environments to perfection. See for yourself and do yourself a favor — follow Ballerina Project on Instagram. You’ll be happy you do! The selection below contains a couple of photographs from Red Hook and Williamsburg as well.
