Human body seems to belong to one of the miracles and enigmas, which humans themselves cannot help being amazed with. Its beauty and grace, as well as vulnerability and changeability have been described and praised by the artists, poets, and photographers for years and centuries. Vivid images of the beautiful curves and smooth skin, kind smiles and shiny eyes always attract the attention of the viewers. Photography is, perhaps, the only technique known today, which can so genuinely make visible the transient movements, subtle gestures, and amazing postures of the human body we would otherwise hardly even notice. The greatest magic of photography is its ability to catch the shortest moments and show them indefinitely to the audience. This feature of photography is so valuable if we want to disclose the grace, flexibility, tenderness, and refinement of the dancers.
