Ballet San Jose
« on: Aug 16, 2012, 07:23 pm »
I'm not plugging a particular ballet (since we haven't announced our season yet) - but I really want everyone to see the amazing photography of Quinn Wharton on my company's homepage. He was a dancer with San Francisco Ballet and has become an amazing dance photographer. Please check out our two slideshows (one with sound and one without - there's a link to switch in the lower left corner under the main image) which are different and just gorgeous!

I'm quite proud of my company and it's new image.

Those are stunning!  A good dance (or theatre, for that matter) photographer is indeed very hard to come by.  Glad you guys found somebody with such a good final product.

Thanks, everyone! I'm really happy about our new image. In the past we've been reluctant to do things outside of neoclassical ballet - very little Twyla or Graham - but now we've expanded with Merce Cunningham! (Our season was finally announced!)

And unfortunately, Quinn has moved to the East Coast. We were lucky to have him shoot our dancers while he was still in the area. It really is an amazingly difficult task to find someone who knows how to shoot dance - but, of course, who better than a dancer?
