NYC CITY BALLET

NYC CITY BALLET · CAMPAIGN

This campaign for the New York City Ballet captures the fluidity of dance through a series of evocative, theatrical portraits. Led by photographer Elizaveta Porodina, the imagery leans into a cinematic aesthetic, utilizing long-exposure and multiple-exposure techniques to render the dancers as ethereal, kinetic forms against moody, gradient backdrops. The editorial approach emphasizes sculptural movement and rich textile details, from layered tulle and translucent capes to vibrant red pointe shoes and metallic accents. With hair styling by Evanie Frausto and makeup by Susie Sobol, the production leans into an artistic, warm-toned color palette that highlights the interplay between light and gesture, creating a dreamlike representation of contemporary ballet performance.
