Bharatanatyam dance photography
Dhakshayni Kamalanathan
The Bharatanatyam dance portraits we shot at golden hour in Wellawatte beach, Colombo, are a captivating blend of tradition and modernity. Dhakshayni, a talented classical dancer and the dedicated teacher of Sri Natya Lakshana kshetra, exudes grace and poise in each frame. With the bustling Colombo skyline as a stunning backdrop, we captured the essence of this ancient art form against the urban landscape.
As the golden sun dipped below the horizon, we seized the opportunity to create mesmerizing silhouettes, casting Dhakshayni's elegant movements against the warm hues of the evening sky. To enhance the visual narrative, we employed a strategically placed flash to illuminate the intricate details of her performance, resulting in a series of enchanting images that beautifully encapsulate the timeless allure of bharathanatyam.
