"Cassie - Tour de Promenade" is one-of-a-kind signed and numbered edition print from the Esprit de Corps series I've created in collaboration with some of the world's most-exciting and beautiful ballet dancers. A former professional dancer myself, I created the series to examine the movement of ballet. Each of the photos illustrates one entire movement, from beginning to end, within the language of ballet. The technique and effect you see are not the result of Photoshop, but of an innovative and unique lighting setup. The photos come out of the camera as you see them here. Given that I'm starting from a digital negative, I will actuate a small variation into each original edition print, making every print unique. It will be printed full-bleed. Eventually, I'm going to turn the series into a compendium of the ballet lexicon in art book form. This is your chance to get in on the ground of some amazing work from it. Ballet Note: The tour de promenade is performed when a dancer turns slowly in place, on one foot. Done right, the dancer moves only her heel, creating a pivot point with her the ball of her foot, which stays in the same place the entire time. Her body may be in any number of positions including retiré, attitude or arabesque. Cassie is seen here performing one in arabesque. If you look closely, you can see the perfectly equally spaced positions of every move of Cassie's heel while the ball of her foot stays in the same place. Bio Note: Cassandra Trenary is a dancer with American Ballet Theatre in New York. ABT is one of the foremost companies in the world. She was named one of Dance Magazine's 25 to Watch in 2013.

My name's Jesús and I'm a fine-art and commercial artist who splits my time between Brooklyn and Concord, MA. I studied photography as an unofficial minor at Yale, when I was getting my BA in Political Science. After college, I spent 5.5 years working as a professional contemporary ballet dancer in New York, before transitioning to photography and multi-media art full-time. I strive to create work that is as much about the subject as it is about the medium, always trying to highlight both the strengths and the limitations of the medium I'm working in. Mostly, I work in photography, but increasingly in video, painting and multi-media disciplines. Currently, I'm working primarily as a commercial and editorial photographer of athletes and children. My fine art projects include Esprit de Corps--the ballet photographs you see here, several long term self-portrait projects for which I've been growing my hair for 5 years, a photographic novel about the dangers of nostalgia and a satirical pop-photography website about racial assumptions and stereotypes.
