I have the privilege to work with some of the most talented models and dancers in the world. Giulia is by far one of my favorites and a dear friend as well. To achieve these images takes a lot of work, on a normal day we can shoot over 400 jumps to get the best images. Each jump has to be adjusted to look right in the camera, and we experiment with different angles and lighting set-ups as well. There are no trampolines, she jumps from and lands on the floor. The model is Giulia Piolanti, and Italian gymnast turned modern dancer turned Cirque du Soleil performer, and she will be appearing in a new Cirque productiion in Tokyo later this year.

It is just so incredible how this dancer knows exactly where every part of her body is from the tip of her nose all the way to her toes and has the enviable flexibility and poise of a cat.
And you are the one to capture it, lucky you.

Firstly, congratulations on making it to the Homepage this is an exceptional image! Secondly i must also congrate you on the technical aspects of this image as they are so superb. Your lighting, clarity, framing and ability to capture the beauty and essence of such an exquisite creature is fantastic! I must also congratulate the agility, beauty, sensuality and ability of Guilia. Her years of sheer hard work show in the flexabilty and sculpture of her body she is poetry in motion!!!
I admire you!
