Yuliya Golitsina | Backstage Project

Yuliya is the the second member of the Staatsballett Berlin who was kind enough to do a shooting with me. I am still full of admiration when I see what ballet dancer are able to do. And I enjoy it even more since I am allowed to be so close with my camera(s). I very much remember Yuliya when I saw her dancing the Arabic Dance in Tchaikowsky´s Nutcracker some weeks ago. I was so impressed. It was her and the Arab Dance which "inspired" me to do this project. Because I wanted to know more about and see more of her and all those other great dancers. Not only on stage but behind it.
