Photographer Rick Guest's second series on the world on ballet focuses on the beautiful and brutal realm of that the dancers live and work in and is titled 'What Lies Beneath', an absolutely stunning exhibition on view at the Hospital Club Gallery in London until January 31st.
'I wanted to make a series of portraits of the dancers themselves, as opposed to dancers dancing. 'I wanted to see how their art has both shaped and etched itself into their bodies.' explained Guest. And he does just exactly that working with stylist Olivia Pomp and using dancers from The Royal Ballet and The English National Ballet and others.
A number of limited edition prints will be on sale during the exhibition, as well as an accompanying book designed by Loose Joints, which also features an essay by art editor Sarah Crompton.
