The Georgia Ballet 2007 Photo Gallery by Richard Calmes at pbase.com

The Georgia Ballet 2007

The Georgia Ballet, Inc., a non-profit organization, was founded in 1960 by Iris Hensley. The organization’s Artistic Director, Gina Hyatt-Mazon, and Executive Director, Michele Ziemann-DeVos, have assumed the founder’s vision of offering a professional ballet company, a school of the highest caliber for the metropolitan Atlanta area, and an outstanding Arts in Education outreach program. See http://www.georgiaballet.org/index.html for more information.

This was my first shoot with this ballet Company. I used a Canon 5D and a Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS lens. Lighting was multile strobes and softboxes.

If you believe this gallery has merit, please vote so others may see it.

Looks like a tough subject matter to photograph.

I like that slideshow suggestion. I found that out a long time ago. Enjoyed many a private ballet performances.. lost in my virtual balletic world. You are one of the very best presenters of just how deeply magical and beautiful this poetic skill. Thank you!

Hi again, dit heb je werkelijk fantastisch mooi vastgelegd.... lichtval en belichting helemaal top en de beweging prima bevroren!! Heb je hier nog een contractje uit kunnen slepen? Gr. Marianne

Luca-BH		22-Sep-2007 12:50
Hi Richard. I already posted a comment on a gallery of yours, and I've to repeat myself... Also this one is incredible! Dancers appear to be very skilled and you got to freeze them in outstdanding positions. The one with both dancers in the air is... no words!

I looked up "Richard Calmes" in my dictionary ... There it was synonymous with "100% perfectionism, raw beauty, extreme quality and elegance" ! Just what I thought ... Espen.

Brett Hochkins		26-Aug-2007 17:09
Phenomenal work as always Richard. Manny Librodo will hate me for this because you are keeping him out of the No. 1 spot yet again. A redcurrant theme it seems but how can I not give you a vote for this...?

You work does more than inspire awe and wonder, Richard. It inspires me to do better in my small way as a nude photographer, to urge my models toward grace and beauty, seeing what these dedicated artists can do. No, my models cannot do these things, but they can strive. I cannot take such wonderful pictures, but I can strive. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Richard. Ellsworth Weaver - voted, of course.
