Beautiful Photographs

I had some photos take of Scout by a Richard O'Farrell, a professional photographer who specialises in black-and-white photos. He currently has an exhibition on in Sydney and two of the photos of Scout are included.

Here they are on Richard's web site.

Of the 8 photos in that gallery, she is the right photo in rows 1 and 2. The first one is my favourite. She'd only been up on pointe for a couple of weeks when the photo was taken and he kept asking her to hold it ... hold it ... hold it ... while he took this shot. Poor kid had probably only been up on pointe in her first pair of pointe shoes for a total of 15 or 20 minutes up to then and he kept asking her to hold it ... hold it ... hold it ...
