My first photo shoot with a ballerina

I started a new project where I'm planning to shoot different kinds of dancers and artists. This is from the very first photo shoot with the first model. Hopefully I will get enough models to achieve my goals.

Hey! I see you were lucky to find such a nice and graceful model! It's a really nice start you did! I was just wondering while looking through this shoot - what's your height? =) Got a feeling that you were shooting her... maybe on her eye level? She looks a bit short. Might be not flattering for a model. Maybe try to shoot at a lower point next time? I believe it can make your images even better. Good luck!

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback!

I was in fact varying my angles a bit while taking these shots so there are some with lower and some with higher angles. But you are absolutely correct: this one would have looked much better if it had been taken at a slightly lower level! I'll have to keep this in mind in the next dancer shoot!
