Ballet Photography by Vihao Pham

By far my faveorite shot. I wish there were ballerinas all over the city.
Ballet dancers on rooftops. Nestled into spaces. Out of the studio, into the streets!
This shot is incredible. Amazing cambre, and amazing composition.


I was a dancer for a long time. One of my favorite aesthetics is classical ballet mixed with a dark side, a rougher edge. I love ballet in unexpected places. However, I never thought I would see Ballet in a phone booth. The most graceful phone call you will ever make. Vihao is based in McLean, Virginia.

The Red Shoes

No real reasoning behind this, I just love this photo. I found it on the internet years ago (pre tumbler), so I'm not sure where it's from. Such a simple alteration, it's as if Edward Gorey did costumes for The Red Shoes. Love.
