Description

Barbara Shady is a former ballet dancer who does contemporary dance now and teaches different dance genres when she is not modeling. Fortunately she is modeling, too. Since I saw her works for the first time I wanted to photograph with her and now I had the chance on a workshop. It was organized by Spektrum Fotó Kft and led by Sándor Benkő, a visual artist and photographer who gives lectures in several universities both in Germany and in Hungary. He did the lights, Barbara did the poses and it was an interesting flow as I asked for one and she followed it with another, and so on. She's good.

She also performed a short dance choreography and I admired how minor imperfections like a bit of shadow here or a tiny wrinkle there can emphasize her movement, both pointing at her talents and her beauty. Those little patterns on her skin make the scene more vivid, assuring that we seeing a living person and not a fictional drawing or alike. Of course I could edit out all minor imperfections but I felt (and still believe) that these are necessary to create intimacy and presence.
This image is faithful depiction of a living person and performing artist. Therefore this image is copyrighted and also protected by Barbara's privacy rights. Part of this image copyrights belong to Sándor Benkő, too. I am not allowed to sublicence, sell, lease etc. this image.
