Along those lines, I have a personal inquiry I’m testing in my day-to-day life: What if every moment is equally special, but our minds simply can’t begin to process the fullness of each moment unless we slow it down or freeze it?
Here the talented Aspen Santa Fe Ballet dancer Katie Bolaños reveals a stunning display of artistry and strength. I captured Katie as part of a personal fine-art project called The Dancers. To capture high-speed moments like this in fine detail, I used the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with its 30.1 megapixels with the sharp EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens. I lit the scene with an overhead Elinchrom ELB 1200 light in high-speed sync mode at 1/1000th of a second to freeze the action. The overhead light helps draw the energy upward in the scene.” Camera: #Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
