FRANCE.Paris. Bolshoi Ballet at the Opera Garnier. 2004.
I believe this is my first color photo posted in this class. This photo is very interesting to me. It is of three ballerinas who are performers at the Ballet in the Opera house in Paris. The angle of the camera makes it seem as if it is coming from the floor above them and the girls do not k now that they are getting photographed. The geometric shapes in the photo make it seem as if the humans are just the background and not the focus of the picture. In the foreground there are lines cutting across and down the middle of the photo which may be part of a railing. Then the straight line leads you to the circular cut out window that is letting in light through its shapes. Then the white background of the wall is a major contrast with the dark black rectangle of the floor and the marble black flooring as well. The lines in the front of the picture allow you to really put the ballerinas in the background. It gives the photo a lot of depth. The ballerinas all are in different positions, but they are all pointing one of their toes like true dancers. You cannot see any of their faces and their bodies are all curved and not straight up and down.
