Dancing with a shadow

I got so surprised this morning when I saw this picture while browsing the thousands of pictures we brought back from our latest trip in LA.

My shadow kinds of fit with the dancer but this was not planned at all. I'm usually totally invisible in my light-painting pictures. On this one, I was simply drawing the light behind the model, and I stopped too long before the shutter got released, thus revealing my shadow.

I will eventually try to do this again but using a second dancer as the light-painter and exploring with different kinds of matching poses between the dancer and the shadow.
