Natalia and Simon. We have been discussing a photo-session with Natalia for a very long time.
Fortunately, we were able to meet this summer in Krakow. And on top of that...
In this photo-gallery are images that were taken during morning class and solo classes led by Paris Opera Ballet étoile Isabelle Ciaravola and Royal Opera House principal dancer Vadim Muntagirov.
Once again I had the rare opportunity to witness and shoot at Daria Klimentova's ballet masterclasses. I'm always astonished how it is possible to create such highly professional yet family-like atmosphere.
Here are - for the fourth time - some more photographic memories of International Ballet Masterclasses in Prague 2018. These are from solo classes. I generally like solos very much and ballet solos are no exception.It was so good to see Anna Osadcenko again and to meet Jason Railey there.
International Ballet Masterclasses in Prague – Pas de Deux - it is always such a pleasure in many ways ranging from witnessing elegance and talent to meeting old friends. Many thanks to Daria Klimentova for inviting me again, and also to Cyril Pierre and Tamás Solymosi.

International ballet masterclasses in Prague 2016 – pas seul. Generally I like to shoot solos very much. Mainly because I can concentrate on a single dancer and it allows me to immerse myself into the dance even deeper.
