Warren Lee, The Dancer (PORTRAIT 2024)

Brooke is a dancer with the Joffrey Ballet. Doing static portraits of a dancer seemed to make little sense to me as did completely freezing motion with someone who moves for a living. The exposures here are up to 1 second with some continuous lighting and rear sync flash. We took this technique into very traditional straight at camera portraits, like the sepia one, to give the sense that Brooke is always in motion. Even when she is still.
