February 26, 2013 - Ballerina in Hawaii

[CaliforniaMama]

Ballerina Kate Ann Behrendt in Hawaii, being photographed for the ballerina project by Dane Shitagi. In her own words:

The contrast of the cement and rock against [my lovely, light dress] concocted a neat vibe. It was my first shoot in a little under a year, and my soul needed it. There is a power in posing for something you are passionate about. I usually try and empty my mind. To come into the work and be moved by the setting is my favorite thing about working with Dane. He enjoys using dancer’s natural instincts.
