Multiple ballerinas in tutus gather in a dark, intimate space, their bodies angled and overlapping in a candid moment of preparation and anticipation. Shot from above in stark black and white, the composition captures the soft folds of their tutus and the quiet intensity of pre-performance focus, with high contrast that emphasizes form and texture against the deep shadows. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
