Researched Photographers | Dane Shitagi

Shitagi's work incorporates a lot of ballet, which is something I wanted to explore down the root of my enquirer. I really like his way of contrasting the beautiful dance with fast and rugged locations. I want to respond to his piece with the three feet because the floor looks really rustic like an old stage. I think this photograph out of all of his works the best with my work. I love how the photo tunnels into focus and the silk is bought out beautifully through the contrast and shadows. His consistent use of black and white gives a vintage grainy theme to his work which I think I could achieve through using a high ISO.

When analysing the photographs what I liked the most was the consistency of the beauty of dance. Regardless of where they are and what effects used on the photo the shapes caught from the dance enhance the beauty of dance. I think technically his use of black and white really compliments his photographs in that he picks exactly where he wants the eyes to focus on using the showing but also using a long exposure on the photograph above makes the photo stand still.
