Bold, elegant, gentle: the photographer showed the world of ballerinas

Yana Teiber is an extraordinary photographer who, like no one else, can convey the essence of the ballet world. In her youth, she gave up her career as a ballerina to go into the world of photography. A girl from a family of Ukrainian immigrants once received a grant and enrolled in a prestigious ballet school in New York, so she knows firsthand what this profession really is, and can convey with her pictures the skill, grace and plasticity of ballerinas.

They say that magic in photographs happens only when the photographer feels what he is photographing. Yana Toiber, who has many years in ballet school behind her, is proof of that.

The shots captured by Yana with plastic ballerinas allow us to get in touch with the real character of this artistic profession.

By the way, Yana was born in Ukraine, but at the age of two she moved to live in the States. There she studied ballet, after which she became very interested in photography.

Endless debates about femininity and the status of women in society serve as inspiration for Yana, fuel for creating catchy photo projects. A woman is the main figure in creativity.

The photographer has a lot of provocative, beautiful and impressive shots in his arsenal.

In polaroid photos with ballerinas, Yana does not miss the opportunity to provoke the viewer: she shows ballet dancers as bold, confident, but at the same time — gentle and feminine.
