Description

A black and white full shot depicts a slender African-American ballet dancer striking a pose on a lightly textured gray stage. The dancer, facing away from the camera and toward the right, wears a sleeveless top with an elaborate design. The top is paired with a short skirt and black tights. The dancer's arms are gracefully extended. The stage is subtly lit, enhancing the dancer's form, and the image is high-contrast. The dancer's dark hair is short. The floor has visible scuff marks, adding texture to the shot. The dancer is en pointe. The gray backdrop is solid. The light source is diffused.
