creative swan

the phrase ‘imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery’ seems highly appropriate for this image:
the dutch national ballet recently received the above poster made for a school arts project: seventeen-year-old ‘roos oerlemans’ made an homage to our recent ‘swan lake’ poster, she recreated the ‘swan’ costume at home, did her own make up, shot the image and put the poster together all by herself, nice work roos! looks like i am out of a job soon then… (many thanks to ‘sandra eikelenboom’ for the tip)

men in tights

we spent last friday in a dance studio with mister ‘ruud baan’ shooting the first of the new poster image series for the dutch national ballet (season 12-13)

many thanks to everyone who helped to make it a successful day, including firstly ruud of course but also the dancers (‘anna tsygankova’ from russia, ‘james stout’ from canada, ‘anatole babenko’ from russia, ‘sebastien galtier’ from france and ‘jared wright’ from australia) and my clients ‘ted and sandra’ who all worked very hard to make the image we wanted…

it was quite an unusual idea this one and i’ll post some more image as soon as we have sorted it all out, should be great when finished i think
