concetta gurzeni, Tiny Dancers on Ice (LIGHT/SHADOW - Entries close 30 September 2026)

Dandelion seeds shot in a studio setting to represent Ballerinas on stage. I was very intentional in my use of low light, and long exposure to highlight and create depth, contrast and the ability to create shadows. Using a canon EOS 5D mark II with a macro lens on a 2 second exposure at F11, ISO 100, with a small torch as a source of light.
