It has not been long since the last time we talked about Brad Walls aka Bradscanvas. A few months ago, in fact, the Australian photographer who specializes in aerial photography has made talk about himself with the series “Pools from above“.

Today, Bradscanvas is back with a new project published just a few days before World Ballet Day, which falls today October 29.

The title of the project is “Ballerine de l’air” and this time all the attention is for Montana Rubin, a member of the Australian Ballet, who danced in her candid tutu in front, or rather under, the camera.

The idea for this photographic series came to Bradscanvas looking at the shot by the photographer Olive Cotton entitled “Teacup ballet“, which shows tea cups seen from above with their shadows stretched on the table, making them look like many small dancers.

Brad offers us a new vision of something that we all have always seen from one and the same point of view.

“Most people had seen Ballet photographed traditionally… and while those photos are undeniably beautiful, I wanted to rewrite the composition, purely focusing on the unique shapes and shadows of the art form.”

“Ballerine de l’air” was shot in two different and contrasting locations: a warehouse with concrete floors and an event hall with a decorated tiled floor.

The final result is a series of striking shots, in which the shapes and colors are perfectly balanced.
