About The Artwork
"Jenna - Sauté en Ecarté en l'Air" 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: Sauté en ecarté en l'air can begin with a number of movements that allow for the dancer to move into a jump while doing a battement en ecarté. Usually this requires a good amount of momentum. In this case, the dancer walks into a fourth position and brings her working leg into a plié first position, before straightening it and sweeping into into the air, to her side. The momentum of both the sweep and the extension of her standing leg bring her off the ground so that she achieves the position you see here. It's important that she point the bottom foot as long as she's off the ground, so as not to break her line. This movement would be considered more contemporary or neo-classical, rather than classical, choreographic usage. Bio Note: Jenna Simon, from Myersville Maryland, is a freelance professional ballet dancer in New York. She dances with DeMa Dance Company and Ballet des Ameriques.

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.
