We arranged a real photo-studio at the backstage of the world famous Gala and created an exclusive photo story with the participants of the event. After their performances all the dancers, still keeping their performing emotional state, were captured by the famous photographer Niv Novak, who arrived to Moscow from Australia specially for this project. Elusive emotions, joy, anxieties – these and more Niv mirrored in his portraits…
