RepostBy @sarahmlee47: "An exquisite and fleeting figure of eight (please forgive my total ignorance about the correct ballet terminology) as #sergeipolunin and #nataliaosipova rehearse #narcissusandecho for #projectpolunin. Also on a technical note it's been really interesting and challenging photographing dance using an entirely manual focus system. The light in Saddlers Wells's rehearsal rooms is v poor so I've been using a 50mm at v wide appertures. This makes focusing when the subjects are moving fast difficult. But for all the frames I miss I've been tying to anticipate their movements and focus just ahead of them so the dancers move in to frame (if that makes sense?), it's a bugger to get right but so satisfying when it works. #leicam10 #50mmsummilux #ilaneshkeri #balletlife #dancer" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage)

This is #sergeipolunin as Narcissus in the wings waiting for the curtain to fall moments after he's been fatally consumed by his own vanity. #50mmsummilux #leicam10 #narcissusandecho #saddlerswells #dancer #ballet" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage)

RepostBy @sarahmlee47: "I wish Instagram could play the score. @ilaneshkeri s music for this piece is heartbreakingly magnificent. Fortunately he has just the right dancers to bring it to life and to do it justice. #narcissusandecho #sergeipolunin #ballet #projectpolunin #ilaneshkeri #saddlerswells #lineofbeauty @sergeipolunin.dancer #leicam10 #50mmsummilux" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage)

RepostBy @sarahmlee47: "Ever since I did my first work experience at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham (I was 14 but lied and said I was 18 which ludicrously I managed to get away with for a while till some of the crew invited me with them on Poll Tax demonstrations and I had, sheepishly, to admit I'd be back at boarding school by then..) I've found lurking in the wings during live performance totally thrilling. I still pinch myself that on occasion I get to do this and call it "work". #sergeipolunin #nataliaosipova #ilaneshkeri #narcissusandecho #projectpolunin #greasepaint #backstage #saddlerswells #dancer #ballet #leicam10 #50mmsummilux" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage)

RepostBy @sarahmlee47: "I'm wary of sounding like a shill for Leica. But I genuinely am finding using the #m10 a joy. It's not just better in low light, there is something about the files that it produces (presumably in conjunction with the glass?) that has a subtlety and richness I've never had from a digital camera. This was shot at 3200 Iso in horrific light conditions and yet tone light and shadow are all a joy to work with when editing. #50mmsummilux #leicam10 #3200 #saddlerswells #ProjectPolunin #ilaneshkeri #guardian #theguardian #sergeipolunin #narcissusandecho" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage)
