"It works for ballet because as someone who took ballet, thats very much a method of stretching" Uhhh, I actually studied ballet seriously, and this is nothing like how a ballet dancer would "stretch." Anyway I think it's terrible. Her feet are so disgusting I can't even look at them. Rae's shot C13 was infinitely better.
@ke1ta2gi3ku4do5, Although the point was about dancing, I think the mission was to incorporate the dance without going over the top. Considering she got ballet, this is a gorgeous photo.
^ ^ I agree, Cr0ations. The only things bringing this shot down for me are the lips (I wish they were more relaxed) and the eyes. I think it might look better if she were looking down rather than up, or maybe just not so far outside the frame, as the pupils nearly disappear in this photo. But the length and poise of the body are great, imo.
I don't get why they would even have this photoshoot, to be honest. If a designer was selling dance attire, they'd get actual dancer-models who know proper technique. Like here, Krista clearly doesn't know what she's doing as far as ballet technique goes, and this shot would never be used to sell pointe shoes or a tutu.
