Capturing the grace and power of a dancer in full expression has become a passion for ballet dancer and photographer Francisco Estévez.
Dance photographer and professional ballet dancer Francisco Estévez works with a client in his studio in Denver on Sept. 15, 2023.
Renowned for his physical prowess and his ability to execute high jumps, Estevez has had many solo roles throughout his career, including some in Colorado Ballet’s most popular productions: the Tin Man in “The Wizard of Oz,” the Prince and the Sugarplum Cavalier in “The Nutcracker” and, in his first role as principal, as Basilio in “Don Quixote.”
“I am inspired by creating something new and beautiful every day,” he says. “Having integral knowledge of the dance as a subject separated from the human subject is invaluable for dance photography.” In Spain, many of the dancers also liked photography, so it was a natural transition for me to put my interest in photography into my passion for dance. I bought my first DSLR and taught myself all there was about photography. As I became more ambitious in what I wanted to photograph, I did more research and learned how to do it.
My methodology also takes into account that a three-dimensional object has to be manipulated in certain ways to be represented faithfully in two dimensions, so we have honed in certain techniques in order to help dancers feel and look their best in front of our cameras.A: Creating something new and beautiful. I think as dancers we love routine but also love creating new things.
