Raymond Elstad has never taken a typical dance photos. Instead, he digs deep to find the most interesting compositions to reveal the honest work of being a dancer. His authentic images show the stress and drive of this profession. There are more than 30 images in this show but this is just a small percentage of a lifetime of images that he has made on this subject featuring dancers from so many of our local dance companies. Elstad has a very specific point of view and his photographs are instantly recognizable. He uses a tool that many have but he is able to be totally unique.
