Sharon Knettell at Scottsdale Artists' School

[Chris Saper]

Sharon brought some of her many gorgeous ballerina costumes and the school hired professional dancers to model for us this past week.

Sharon chose lighting that was mainly flat, accented with an uplight in order to emphasize color against color.

Here is Sharon being accurate in her measurments with model Nicole, and dressing up one of our other models, Katy. Katy was so tickled with getting to dress up like a pricess fairy (after many avant-garde black leotard perfomances dressing black on black) that she was a delight. These professional dancers are no strangers to pain, and all stood many hours without complaint - they can't take any pose -even at rest- that is not graceful.
