I had just finished photographing Gina Pazcoguin, New York City Ballet's principal dancer, rehearse for a performance when I asked her to improvise something. More important than any perfect dance pose, I wanted to capture the raw energy and passion that animated Gina's limbs.
Butterfly Black was shot in a dance studio at Lincoln Center in New York City.
