Summer power dressing

If I were to relocate to a warmer country, I could dress like this every day during the summer. I could even conduct business in my Kikoi.

The ballerina, twenty years before

The Ballerina - Classical dance photography by Wolf Kettler Photographer.

Some time ago I published a fantasy, a bittersweet memory fragment of a ballerina’s life, who retired twenty years ago. Today’s intimate portrait of a dancer is a flashback to when the ballerina was still young and full of hope and enthusiasm. My aim was to create a series of dance photos, which would not merely focus on the movement but allow me to gaze into the dancer’s mind and stay there for a while.

One summer’s day in 1979 at the venerable Café Landtmann in Vienna I noticed an interesting face, which belonged to a man of around thirty years of age. I asked if I could photograph him and we got talking.

Two photographs from my Paris season, exploring a location not five minutes’ walk from Notre Dame, which is bizarrely not touristy at all.

On Sunday I found a snake skin by my garden pond, which is a mixed blessing.

When I visited Geoffrey Bailey Shoes of Wantage the other day, I came away with a pair of the most beautiful Loake shoes, which presented an ideal excuse to indulge in a spot of product photography.
