Australian Ballet

Jan 2024

S/25 is a campaign for the Australian Ballet that highlights the physical precision and artistic expression of its company members. The series features a sequence of studio portraits and action shots, emphasizing the architecture of the human form through controlled, directional lighting and minimalist, neutral backdrops. The imagery leans into a clean, editorial aesthetic, juxtaposing fluid wardrobe choices—ranging from voluminous tulle to structured corsetry—against the disciplined technique of the performers. Led by creative director Emma Wagstaff, the project showcases dancers including Benedicte Bemet, Ako Kondo, and Sharni Spencer in both static, graceful poses and high-speed motion. The visual language utilizes a moody, low-key chiaroscuro to heighten the contrast between the dancers' movements and the dark studio environment, creating a refined look that bridges performance art and commercial portraiture. Photography by Pierre Toussaint is complemented by hair and make-up artistry from Blanka Dudas and fashion styling by Vivien Vittadello.
