Alexander Yakovlev, "Mirages, Ana Turazashvili"
2014
I chose this image from Alexander Yakovlev Mirages collection of dancers to show how strong women are by how Ana Turazashvili, the model, is jumping with perfect lining and how strong she is with pushing her body with all her strength. I like the detail of her muscles showing each crease from her feet to her legs to her arms to her hands. This portrait amazes me because Alexander Yakovlev, a Russian Photographer, caught the elegance and power of this dancer with a simple jump. To me this image is a power pose that shows her confidence and she is breaking free. I like the use of the flour because that is another way of showing how she is breaking free, the picture makes the jump look effortless which makes it that more powerful. This portrait is truly a piece of art that amazes me on how perfect Alexander Yakovlev captured this image.
