1Jaw-Dropping Dance & Flour by Alexander Yakovlev

2

Photography might not steal your soul (except for selfies), but it’s adept at capturing the intangible magic of the moment. And few do it better than Alexander Yakovlev with his dance photography. He has a good eye for dancers and scene composition, catching them at their most expressive and dynamic. Watching a dance live, the eye wouldn’t have time to register the majesty of all the moves.

But Yakovlev’s photography gives the chance to appreciate the art done of the moving human body, and the incredible grace of ballet. More than that, his flour series captured movement well, like a real life version of motion lines.

Alexander Yakovlev is Russian photographer out of Moscow. While his university education is in law, his passion is dance photography. Yakovlev also does occasional shoots of female fitness athletes and his works are featured in fitness magazines.-- Demilked.com

莫斯科攝影師 Alexander Yakovlev 有個天賦──呈現舞者的優雅，力與美。這些舞者在極簡的空間內，盡輕擺動、揮灑汗水，優雅的肢體線條透過 Yakovlev 的鏡頭，展現出了無與倫比的美麗，讓人無法移開目光。

鍾情於「舞蹈攝影」的 Yakovlev 曾在俄羅斯學法律，直到發現自己真正的激情不在墨守成規的法律上，而是攝影之後，便投身在這項藝術之中。 Yakovlev 運用了麵粉等簡單元素，讓舞者在賣力的舞動下，於空中留下「力」的痕跡，接著再經由他的鏡頭捕捉到每位舞者律動的路徑和劃出的美麗線條，透過粉霧展現爆發力。不論彩色或非黑即白的照片構圖簡潔有力，張張令人驚嘆不已。
