Creative Feature: “On Pointe” Ballerina Series by Drake Murray

In order to extend beyond superficiality–“ballerinas as beautiful people doing beautiful things”–Murray forced himself to explore a deeper understanding of ballet and the women who master it.

“Each ballerina, as is customary of each individual, has a story to tell,” he told Sinuous Magazine. “One of triumph, hardship, obstacles, and achievements. Hearing those stories, and documenting who they belong to through photographs, is my continued inspiration for the ‘On Pointe’ series.”
