“Freedom, black and white photographic poster.

Photography and Ballet Throughout history, the primary goal of ballet photography has been to freeze movement. Many dance photographers have successfully achieved the initial goal of freezing the steps, but nowadays, this is not enough. The ‘frozen’ step remains just that, a record of an execution, a specific movement, even if correct, may only be that, and sometimes offers an angle or an approach whose aesthetics fail to convey or acknowledge the emotional power that makes the photo a work of art in itself.

Today, the aim is to go beyond the simple freezing of a particular step, to explore and discover what transcends beyond movement; the possible greatness or skill of the dancer who is the subject of the photograph is not enough.

The majority of ballet photography emphasizes stillness but also tries to extend the field to the intermediate zone reflected in Degas. This ‘freezing of movement’ becomes progressive. Its retention contains the intensity of the vibration of those energies ready to explode.

Dance and photography are supposedly in radically opposite positions: the art of movement and the art of the still. This is why it is said that dance completely escapes the photo, aiming to capture the intrinsic energy of dance in a single moment, freezing it to define an image that is not about ‘movement’ but suggests movement itself. Dance photography is thus a reflection on the paradox that opposes (while bringing together) the mobility of the immobile. From this perspective, photography can be related to Degas’ painting, as it takes movement as a challenge.”
