Beautiful Mountain Dancers

I have traveled from the urban scenes of New York City in my last gallery to the rural mountains of North Georgia to photograph beautiful dancers.
I took a group of dancers to the town of Hiawassee, Georgia for 3 days of shooting in the rivers, lakes, and the historic Pioneer Village at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds.

If you believe this gallery has merit, please vote so others may enjoy these marvelous artist/athletes!

It's no coincidence that the word 'calm' is in your name. Your pictures exude a calm tranquility, a beautiful grace, and a scintillating sense of the spirit that is both joyous and uplifting. God has blessed you with a beautiful eye. You see the image on the canvas of your mind, snap your shot, and then place it on a canvas for all of the world to see. Thank you for sharing your vision with the world. It's ephemeral and transcendental. Keep shining!

serait ce le danseur qui rend beau la photo ou le photographe qui a donné la beauté à la danseuse ? on ne sait plus ! on perd le nord ! est ce un rêve ou une realité ? la beauté dans toute son élégance et sa force. serait l'obsession de la beauté figé là dans les cheveux dans l'eau ou dans le tout ? Merci Richard ... un femme française Mariejo

My daughter was @ RDA Southwest but I have had several hours of enjoyment surfing through your web site. The funny thing is last year we were having her portrait made and I ask the photographer for pictures in tutu and on pointe on rocks in water. Hers were nice these are SPECTACULAR.

Very well done Richard! ... original and beautiful. Cross matching themes like this is very refreshing to see. Original Art! Woot! PS - can you change the music coding so it plays in the background as we flip through the photos, rather than start and stop on as we move back and forth to the main page?

BeauxPoint Photography		30-Aug-2008 18:20
Enjoyed the Photographs.....the work time with camera, setup, editing, and "photoshopping" is appreciated......(even if the choice of music is not since a more traditional Scotch-Irish melody would be more appropriate for that area of the South and complimenting such classic photographs). Knowing the work involved in such a venture, my compliments to the dancers for their stamina and patience during the shooting of each final frame. The dancers are indeed a pleasure to the senses.

You may not believe this RC but The thought hit me when I looked at your last Ropes gallery that you should shoot dancers in water. And you sure have done that here. Terrific. Vote

Guest		28-Aug-2008 23:34
Hi Richard, Excellent.This a superb Gallery . Dancers did their positions in a different kind of stage.Here I can appreciate the dancers work and how that movement fits in the scenery: Is a very bright idea , somehow like in the Ancient Greek where dance was done in open air , in the Nature. Besides the scenery, as background is wonderful and mix quite well with dancers exhibition. Again and again I praise dancer for their Art and athletic capabilities and your skill to do outstanding pictures. Congratulations and kind regards jorge
