Pas de Deux Photo Gallery by Richard Calmes at pbase.com

Pas de Deux

A pas de deux is quite literally a "dance for two".
Here Whitney Sue Jones and Robert Dekkers show us both their creativity and their strength in a series of images I see as a dance of love...in the air.
I had these two wonderful dancers for two hours and I encouraged them to create. And create they did!
Robert is a very gifted choreographer but he had never choreographed an aerial dance. He went right to work and at the end of the two hours we had these beautiful images.

If you believe this gallery has merit, please vote so others may enjoy their work!

Stunning Collection , Excellent idea , Great lighting *****

Guest		16-Aug-2008 01:19
Richard, superb pictures, stunning light control...but you lost relationship with ballet figures. I appreciate the photo quality, the athletics pose , but you lack to show "Pas de Deux". I want you understand my comment, I did vote. Is a great Gallery , no doubt , but not in the line of your previous works. Kind regards jorge
