The powerful images showcased in the Now Is All There Is photo series yet again prove that there is equal amounts of strength and beauty when it comes to the ballet. In this case, the series showcases the talented dancers from The Royal Ballet. An artform within an artform, the black and white stills dramatize the emotional movements the dancers make in front of the camera.
Shot by photographer Rick Guest, the Now Is All There Is photo series was inspired by choreographer George Balanchine’s quote, "What are you waiting for? What are you saving yourself for? Now is all there is!" The collection is set to be exhibited at The Hospital Club near the end of January.
