Various Campaigns: New York City Ballet "We Exist in Time"

Sep 2025

For the New York City Ballet project We Exist in Time, photographer Thibaut Grevet captures the intersection of classical poise and modern movement. The series presents a study of form and sequence, utilizing high-contrast monochrome tones and clean compositions to highlight the physical precision inherent in ballet. The imagery channels an editorial aesthetic, focusing on textural detail and motion through stroboscopic multiple exposure. Key contributions include hair styling by Rachel Lee and makeup artistry by Allie Smith, both of whom underscore the project's minimalist approach. This work leans into moody, chiaroscuro-inspired lighting to emphasize the structural lines of the dancers.
