Julianne Kinasiewicz, Los Angeles Ballet - Lifestyle Editorial

Julianne casually mentioned during our shoot how she’s burning through two pairs of pointe shoes a week. Apparently some dancers go through more. Never could have anticipated that. Didn’t even know to think about it, honestly. The amount of repetitions, the hours, the daily grind for that to be possible. Beauty and grace on a main stage, with the most brutal and intricate of work routines behind the scenes. This is what we set out to capture. Those small, stripped down, otherwise unseen moments.
