Ballet Photos in Singapore

Outdoor photoshoots can be challenging in Singapore: the heat and humidity can ruin any makeup, hair and removing the sweat stains on clothes on Photoshop can double the editing time! Even on a cloudy day, we were dripping! Poor Erivan—was almost dehydrated at the end of the session! But is still fun! :)

I’m so grateful for each session, each person I’ve met through photography. It’s a constant learning, an opportunity to improve and make a better work every time. Sometimes I miss New York streets and the golden sunset shining between the buildings, but the challenge of working with a different light, new se up, new city is so rich! That’s the chance for me to look for new angles, strength my technique, get out of the box!

This was my first shoot with Erivan and I’m sure, won’t be the last! I’m still exploring this new territory—Singapore and ballet photos. Excited for this new path! :)

Ballet at Tiong Bahru

After setting down and putting everything in place, this was my first ballet photoshoot in Singapore! It feels good to be back home and a huge thank you to Rachel, for this fun morning in Tiong Bahru.

Ballet in SoHo, New York

In my previous post I relied on my words on photography not being about perfection, but the moment. I guess I’ll contradict myself here. These photos are all about perfection. The perfection of the moment, the expression, the hands, the foot, the posture, the legs… it’s all about the second that the moment is frozen on absolutely perfection.

I photograph ballerinas just for fun! It’s my hobby moment—like an artist painting, I take ballet photos. I still have a long way towards the perfection of dance photography—as so marvellous photographers as Rachel Neville do it so beautifully—but for me it’s like chasing a perfection that exist only on that second and maybe, the camera will never caught it. Just your eyes.

Thank you, Camila and Alejandra! For challenging myself; for training my eyes for more perfection and for the fun afternoon while most New Yorkers were soaking in the pouring rain. And a HUGE thanks for Barrows, for allowing us to use this beautiful space on a Sunday! #FeelingBlessed
