Description: Title of photograph: Ballet Dancer 412-125 (LA Ballet Company, premier dancer posed on studio platform, black & white photograph by Ken Marcus) Ken's Notes: "In early 1983, I embarked on a project to produce black & white nude photographs of the premier dancers from the Los Angeles Ballet Company. The goal was a gallery exhibition and traveling show to raise funds for the Ballet Rather than photograph the dancers in their more familiar environment of a complexly lit stage, I chose instead to isolate them in a studio setting using a traditional cloth backdrop and only one light. Nothing else was included to distract them or the viewer. This series involved several intense studio sessions with various dancers spread over a month’s time. Then, many more weeks in the darkroom, producing the final prints for exhibition. The gallery show was a great success and the images continued to be shown in galleries around the country and published in fine-art photography magazines."
