Sean - Pencil Turn (Limited Edition of 40, 2 Sold) Print

"Sean - Pencil Turn" 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: Beginning in 5th position, the dancer executes a pencil turn by quickly rising into demi-pointe (or pointe) with one leg and while keeping the other leg straight and turned out, directly in front of the other, with a flexed foot or pointed foot (in this case, flexed). Essentially, the legs remain in fifth position. Holding the position, the dancer prepares and turns as in a pirouette. Given how contained the dancers center of gravity remains, the turn lends itself to fantastic speed and is among the more whimsical of turns in dance. The pencil turn is from the contemporary, neo-classical and jazz lexicon. Bio Note: Sean Stewart, from Vacaville CA, is a dancer with American Ballet Theatre. ABT is one of the foremost ballet companies in the world.
