Photography and ballet are both skilled arts that take years
of training to develop. If you ask a ballerina when she mastered her skill of
ballet, she will tell you that a dancer is always
working to master the art of ballet. Photography is the same. Combining these
art forms can be challenging, but truly exciting.
The relationship of photographer and artistic director is not
unlike the relationship of the choreographer and the dancer. Lake Charles Civic Ballet has had the privilege of collaborating with several
photographers—professional and amateur.
For a photographer’s camera to successfully capture a
dancer’s motion, the dancer must possess the physique and technique to display
the movements and shapes selected by the artistic director, and the photographer
must possess the talent and timing to capture the precise moment of the movement.
The resulting photograph represents many layers of talent. Years of training,
dedication, and skill—for everyone involved—frozen for all time.
LCCB is a pre-professional ballet company. On opening night of
Resonating Fields at Historic City Hall , LCCB dancers, choreographers,
photographer, and artistic director viewed the exhibit as guests, as well as
teachers and students of the art of ballet. Thank you to Lois Greenfield for sharing her
talent with the city of Lake Charles
