I clearly have a thing for photographs with ballerinas as subjects. First it was Jose Romussi’s colorburst thread stitched dancers followed by Bob Carey’s Tutu Project then Little Shao’s series of ballerina’s in Paris and now these great images by Lisa Tomasetti.
Tomasetti captures the elegance of classic ballet positions (the grand jeté and the arabesque penchée) in unexpected environments such as rough street corners, subway stations, and bustling shopping districts around the city streets of Paris, Tokyo, and New York. They’re whimsical and raw at the same time and I just can’t get enough.
More of Tomasetti‘s work here.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is absolutely stunning! I have been dancing for 20 years, and I have never heard of her. What a beautiful concept. I definitely need to find more of these!
You would LOVE The Ballerina Project!!!

They also have a website, but I believe it's subscription based. The FB page shows lots of sneak peeks of upcoming prints, so it's almost better than the paid site! Haha 😉
love it ive always wanted to be a ballerina

Ballet is sooo beautiful! I love these shots too.
Love it
These are gorgeous. I've just re-started my ballet journey this year with the goal of dancing en pointe before my 30th birthday. It has got to be one of the most photogenic arts.
Very nice pics. Didn't know the artist, thanks! You could check mine if you are interested:

Ballet in an urban outdoor setting where you’d think it wouldn’t belong. Beautiful. How do I get the rights to one of these photos if they are copyrighted?
Love the ballerinas in the crosswalk.
just personal flavor but … background a bit busy and cluttered for my taste. great shots for sure though.
This is soooo cool, thanks for sharing ♥
