I had the opportunity to do a shoot I've had in the back of my mind for some time now, with dancers in a shipyard - clearly finding the right spot takes a bit of time . Micol & Mirea are two Italian dancers based in Aix en Provence and made the trip up here to Lyon, the shoot almost didn't happen as their bus arrived two hours late but in the end we had an hour to shoot which was more than enough to do this series and a few of others. C&C most appreciated
Great lighting, especially in #6 and #9. I probably would have elevated my camera position in #4 (I don't personally like "shooting up") but I know that dancers are not stationary and sometimes you can't always be in the perfect place at the perfect time. The shipyard is an interesting concept too - definitely unexpected. Would love to see more.

Many thanks For dance we often shoot a bit up as it makes legs longer and is a bit like shooting from stage level - but certainly appreciate your point of view !
Yes I have a few more which are a bit less safe for work (just a nipple visible here or there, nothing too wild), I can post some up on my website soon (500px)
Beautiful work, and a masterful use of available lighting.
I might have removed the puddle in images 3 and 4, the muddy spot in the lower right corner and the white spot under her leg in image 7, and the trash in the background of image 8. This is of course subjective to how I personally would edit my own photos.

I often choose to photograph models from a low angle as well. I feel like it adds a nice statuesque look to the model and gives them a sense of power in the photograph. I think it also makes the location a little more interesting, as well it can often help eliminate distracting elements in the background.
Many thanks Daniel - all great builds appreciate the C&C

Nice set ... particularly like #7, the parallel posing to the text is a very nice attention to detail, well executed.
#9 also, but all are fine.
