FROM THE ARCHIVES

I recently started looking at my photo archives and realized, I like most photojournalist have not had the great majority of my work published before. So I've decided to create a space in my blog where I can showcase images, which might have never seen the light of day, or images that I find interesting and worthy of being showcased again. So if you ever want to see some of my archive images just scroll down my posts until you find the "from the archives" title. Enjoy.

Boston Ballet' Fancy Free Rehearsal

>> Friday, May 4, 2012

Boston, MA 050112 Boston Ballet's troupe members rehearse for the company's production of "Fancy Free" on May 01, 2012. (Essdras M Suarez/ Boston Globe Staff)/ G BEHIND THE SCENES: One of my favorite subjects to photograph has always been dancers. To me they seem like sports cars, which even at a stand still are sleek-looking and ready to exploit with movement. It helps too that these dancers are real pros and it's very easy for them to ignore the constant clicking of my camera's shutter. That and the fact that I have been photographing their rehearsals now for about 10 years and they know me well. TECH STUFF: Easy enough, most of it shot with the 70-200mm 2.8 and the 24-70mm. A Nikon D3 and a D3s. ISO 1600. Speeds 1/160th- 1/250th of a second depending of close they got to the windows. WB Auto (mixed light from the windows and fluorescent overheads present.) EXTRA NOTE: Funny enough after having photographed these guys for these many years, this was the first time I noticed the reflection on the side of the piano.
