After many unsuccessful attempts to catch her in the air I suddenly stumbled upon this shot. I love this shot because of the lines she created with her body, the framing of the light behind her, and of course the way it looks like she is throwing or catching a ball of light. Through the off centre position of her body and the long stretching lines it created you can definitely tell she is moving. It looks like she is gracefully guiding a ball of light across the stage. It reminds me of the star, and Nakida is the centre in which is moves around. I like how you can only see her silhouette and not defined features. This is created by the large amounts of back lighting. The glowing behind her frames her shape beautifully. The only thing I would change about this picture is that I didn't get her feet in. Although this shot was a bit of a happy accident I am really happy with the way it turned out :)
I love this photo Emma! Considering she is in motion it is such a clear shot, you can see every defined detail against the back light. The soft lighting in the background really adds a dreamy and soft feel to the whole photo. I think that the way the lines of her body are so long it adds an element of grace. That little ball of light looks like a special effect! Love it
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many eureka moments have been 'happy accidents' as you put it. I hope you will share this with Nakida somehow. My favourite part of this shot are the super clean silhouette lines you've captured. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLike OMG, I love your photo Emma :p Like Zoe says, capturing the dancer in movement and still getting a clear shot really defines the photo. She rocking the spotlight ya know.
