Dane Shitagi is a NYC based photographer. Originally from Honolulu, he followed his instincts to live the photographic life. Taking inspiration from the sights and sounds of “the city” as well as the energy and diverse arts, Dane has formed a unique and heartfelt body of work that is sooo beautiful and personal. Rather than molding his ideas to the studio set, he has taken his creativity and inspiration from the world outside – preferring the rawness and atmosphere that only a living city like the Big Apple can bring. We loved this project of shooting ballerinas from the New York City Ballet all over the city with a delicate and soft vibe combined to the streets, traffic, landscapes, city sights of NYC as a background! Sweet!

Nice! I felt so inspired, it woke up in me a lot of sensations. Finest ones all of them.
I know, so amazing! great great shots
… by the way, this is my rate: (1st) 8 when i see it, I think more in a feeling than in a person, a bit strange, but really beautiful; (2nd) 10 man, in this one she’s like a leaf or a feather, an ideal, the kind of Baudelaire’s subject. Others: (3rd) 4 poetic waste basket, (4th) 6 It’s like the romantic spirit of “The wait” in fact, a possible manner to see the city, if you’re a lonely traveler.
Congratulations for the photographer, its images made me dream elegantly between beautiful visions.
I like you concept of “grading”, we love to do that too..
Thank you so much for your feedback, keep them coming, alright?

Many of these are from the Ballerina Project. I think you should credit them and not claim their work for yourself.
Hello Ilana, how are you?
We’ve been told that these pictures were taken by Dane Shitagi, we are not claiming anything for ourselves.
Please, send us the link from the “Ballerina Project” and we’ll be more than happy to mention their fantastic artwork.
Best regards
These are such pretty pictures.

Wow, this is truly beautiful. They all look so elegant in the pictures.
A lot of these were actually not taken in New York, but Boston! The fifth and seventh pictures are of Kelsey Hellebuyck, who used to dance at Boston Ballet. Also they are part of the Ballerina Project.
Beautiful
Woooooooooow………Wonderful pictures…….
