About

Captured in black and white by director Matthew Brookes, this striking image features two male ballet dancers performing an athletic lift in the middle of a bustling city street. The supporting dancer is dressed in dark tights and boots, while the lifted dancer wears a classic white tutu and a baseball cap. The urban environment provides a stark, contrasting backdrop to the graceful classical movement. The composition emphasizes the contrast between classical ballet and raw city architecture.
