Between Takes
Photograph by Roark Nelson, National Geographic Your Shot
Dancers get into position before a photo shoot at the Walla Walla Dance Company in Washington State. I wanted to document the direction that the teachers gave the dancers, writes Roark Nelson, a member of our Your Shot community. With ballet, the photo can have perfect lighting and composition, but the dancers also need to have perfect form.
