Another November shoot I couldn't process in time, and only now got my paws on it...

Olga is a Russian ballet dancer. This is very grueling art/sport. Just like with life in USSR/Russia itself, you have to be very touch to survive, hence not too much smile going around....

    I LOVE this series. Love, love, love. (Ok, so maybe it's the peformer in me, but I "get" these).

    I particularly like 2, 3 and 5, and love the "old world" ballerina style you've created in #3 - definitely traditional-meets-modern in that one, and I just love it.

    #6 is good, but the dimple and crease of skin running down on the lh side of the shot bothers me - is that pp-able? Othe than that, it's another stunner.

    Did I mention I love these? :D
