Uncovering the Beauty of Motion: Ken Browar and Deborah Ory's The Art of Movement

Amazon Kunde: Zu diesem Buch muss und kann man eigentlich nichts sagen.
Kunst liegt ja immer im Auge des Betrachters, von daher ist der Inhalt ja relativ.
Für mich ist es ganz große Kunst. Die Zusammenstellung und Auswahl der Bilder ist sehr gelungen und das Buch an sich macht einen sehr edlen Eindruck.
Ich bin begeistert!

BaileyVBaileyV: Absolutely breathtaking photos! Great quotes. The book itself is larger than I anticipated, but once I opened it up, I gasped at the brilliance of the images and I’m glad they are full size! I love a coffee table book that has more to look at than read, and this is perfectly proportioned. A wonderful collaboration of artists, this gorgeous book is a must for any photography or dance enthusiast!

Amazon Customer: The book is everything I expected it to be. I've seen the documentary about the making of the book. The photographer(s), the balletdancers (who had to do the jumps over and over again, until the photographer was satisfied), all the people around them. They all made it possible to create such a beautiful book. It took a while before I could order it (it was sold out very fast, and I had to wait Some months), but it was worth waiting for.
So from Holland with love........

News hen: I was rendered breathless by this book. The photography takes second place to the movement but it is stunningly well done, so well done that you are not immediately aware of it. I wondered how many times the dancer and the photographer duplicated the same movement to get that one perfect shot. Of course the movement, captured in the one perfect instant, is the reason for the book. If you love dance in all its many incarnations, you will love this book. And if you are a photographer, it will give you something to shoot for, no pun intended.

Drew Anderson: As an aspiring dance photographer I had to have this book. And I'm so glad I picked it up. As soon as it arrived I've been pouring over the images, first with a bird's eye view and now looking at the details of each shot. It's been truly inspiring. I use in constantly in my own shoots with dancers. We review some images that I think might be good for them, and that gives them inspiration, and then we make the shot their own, with their own personalities coming through.

The book is high quality with great shots in multiple dance genres throughout. Whether your a fan of dance, dance photography, the study of movement, or just fascinating images, this is a perfect book.

Tenna Merchent: This book is filled with stunning images of dancers that are
The images in this book are truly art. I would be happy to hang them as huge prints above my fireplace. They are captivating to behold. The lighting is exquisite; it naturally enhances the beauty and form of the dancers without drawing attention to itself. I want to compliment the posing, but it’s not posing. The dancers are in motion, and always captured at the perfect arc of the movement. I can only imagine all the work behind the scenes to create this masterpiece.
These authors also including numerous male dancers in the book and the men are treated with the same grace and attention to detail as their female counterparts. Many ballet sources focus more on the females, which is understandable, who doesn’t admire a beautiful, talented ballerina en pointe in a flowing gown? But it is refreshing to have a group of gentlemen dancers presented with such sophistication.
The authors have a ballerina in the family and it shows. They understand the technical excellence demanded by ballerinas. A dancer’s feet, hands, legs, shoulders, knees everything must be in the proper form to meet their incredible standards....
