Portrait of a ballet dancer.

I met Sian through her dance teacher, Jenny. Jenny had been telling me how Sian was lacking in confidence since an accident 2 years prior and was finding it difficult to get back into her dancing. I offered to do a shoot with her to try and help build her confidence back up. Being able to visualise her performance really helped her.

Now Sian is pursuing her dream at one of London's top dance schools.

This was taken during the day with a single softbox. There was a bare window to the left which made it really difficult to control the light, so this was one shot of many many taken.

The experience made me realise how powerful photography can be and how much influence it can have on people.

Yes! to get to be appreciated as one of the best dancers they have to control every little piece of their bodies...

A beautiful image and an equally beautiful and inspiring story. Thank you for sharing and for helping this young lady to summon the courage to keep on pursuing her passion... Jay xx

Thanks Jay. Photography is all about story telling and inspiring. I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, I absolutely agree! And you did a brilliant job of telling her story with this one.
