New Mexico Pueblo Ballerina

[Joe Kayne]

This is a friend of mine who I have photographed 3 times in the antique Wet Plate Collodion tintype process. She was nominated as a CNN Hero -Pueblo Ballerina. She also performs modern dance...

Really nice result as has been true for all of the wet plate collodion you have shown us.

Her tattoos are an interesting touch - are they traditional pueblo art motifs or modern? Is the costume choice hers?

... Beautiful, evocative image. Far elevated above the modern, sharp, high resolution B&W images.

They are modern Henna... They will fade in a couple of weeks...

A beautiful photograph in every way.....the pose, the expression, and your process. I assume Than has seen it.

This is so awesome Joe! I really love the variation on the normal stoic poses.
