Cambridge Ballerina Photoshoot – Luciana & Claire

Having photographed contemporary and ballet dance shows in Cambridge over the last 5 years, and recently inspired by Dane Shitagi’s “Ballerina Project” based in New York, I decided to work on my own project, creating beautiful images of ballet and contemporary dancers in scenic (and not-so-well-known) locations around Cambridge.
