What’s ‘Street Stage’?

‘Street Stage’ is an ongoing series of photographs featuring dancers in the raw and urban landscape of the city. Street Stage started because of her love for dance and the New York streets.

With this collection Federica wants to share a new perspective of dance photography where the focus is not the dancing and the technique but the ballerinas feelings and emotions.

She decided to take the dancers out of their comfort zone so instead of shooting in the photo studio she used New York as the background creating a unique contrast between the beauty of the dancers and the electric streets.

New York is a magnet for creativity and shooting the dancers outdoor made easier to show and free a more real and personal side of their dancing.
