It wasn’t until the late 1920s that technologies in dance photography evolved to allow photographers to capture their subjects in flight. Charlotte Rudolph‘s images of a leaping Gret Palucca advanced both women’s careers, lifting Palucca to international fame, and landing Rudolph centre stage in her field. I love so many of Rudolph’s images, but this one in particular, with none of the tidiness and finesse we associate with dancers, is my favourite.
