I love dance calendars. Turning the page every month to find a new embodiment of grace, movement, energy and momentum. In the past I have bought Lois Greenfield's calendar. This year as I was looking around I saw that Dance India Dance Season 2 Winner Shakti Mohan has launched her calendar Nritya Shakti, shot by fashion photographer Pravin Talan.
I think Shakti is a fabulous dancer and she is gorgeous! I think I may have a slight crush on her!
This is her favorite picture from the calendar:
I love the blending of the Classical and the Contemporary in this picture. The traditional accessories are juxtaposed with the very sculptural Contemporary Dance pose. She is graceful and fierce at the same time.
Some of my favorite pictures are:
The red color looks like she is draped in fire. At the same time there is a beautiful softness in her arms
This last one is really edgy. Her expression is fierce and self-assured as she is effortlessly poised on her toes. The definition of her muscles and the way she is lit make this picture really exciting.
There are so many other amazing pictures in her calendar and her character and body language change with each picture. Though most of the pictures display her immense power, there also those which show a sense of vulnerability.
The combination of her inherent power and sensuality and the conceptualization of the ideas behind each picture, render them into works of art.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures .
ReplyDeleteYour comments walk a fine-line between something one "crushed" would say and a deep appreciation of what her beautiful form imbues.
