I was backstage at Ballet Austin's "The Nutcracker" last night and saw this tableau of dancers watching two of their colleagues performing as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Cavalier.The lighting looked like it might be interesting, so I took out my iPhone and snapped this shot. Just using available light, it came out with a painterly feel.
Sara Hickman did Mother Ginger last night, by the way. She was terrific.
You're right about the "painterly feel"-- it looks like a Degas! I love the way the light falls on their faces. Beautiful.
