About the Item
Maria Kowroski for the New York City Ballet, dancing in a white Tutu, photographed by Arthur Elgort in 1999. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This photograph by Arthur Elgort showcases a ballerina in an elegant and dynamic pose. The dancer, dressed in a delicate tutu and pointe shoes, executes an impressive high extension, with one leg lifted vertically while balancing en pointe on the other. Her arms extend gracefully, complementing the fluidity of the movement. The composition has a soft, ethereal quality, with diffused light filtering through large windows in the background, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. The black-and-white tonality of the image emphasizes the contrast between the delicate textures of the tutu, the smooth lines of the dancer’s body, and the minimalist setting. The dancer's poise, strength, and grace are captured beautifully, evoking a sense of weightlessness and refined artistry. The overall aesthetic aligns with Elgort’s signature fashion-meets-ballet photography style, which often blends movement with a sense of classic elegance. Arthur Elgort is an acclaimed American fashion photographer, renowned for his signature "snapshot" style that brought a fresh, spontaneous energy to fashion imagery. Rising to prominence in the 1970s with Vogue, his work revolutionized fashion photography by incorporating movement and natural light. Elgort’s iconic images have been featured in prestigious museum exhibitions worldwide, including at the International Center of Photography in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, solidifying his status as a transformative figure in modern photography.

Arthur Elgort
One of the world’s most frequently imitated photographers, Arthur Elgort is a tireless innovator known for his lively “snapshot” style. He has freelanced for a range of top-tier magazines and luxury brands, and is credited with introducing movement and an emphasis on the wonders of natural light to the realm of fashion photography.
Born in 1940 in New York City, Elgort attended Stuyvesant High School and later studied painting at Hunter College before turning to photography. “I started as a painter, but I was a bad copy of Franz Kline,” explained Elgort in an interview with the New York Times. “I couldn’t draw. But I thought, ‘If I had a camera, I could capture something.’ So, I became a photographer.”
Elgort’s career began as a photo assistant to Swedish fashion photographer Gösta Peterson. He shot his first cover photo for Mademoiselle magazine. However, a series of groundbreakingly candid black and white photos Elgort took of a model playing with a dog for British Vogue in 1971 cemented his status as a star in fashion photography.
Elgort’s relaxed technique, which sees him capturing breezy images of models in what appear to be candid moments, was a refreshing and welcome change to the stiff and staged studio shoots that were characteristic of fashion photography during the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, Elgort has taken some of the fashion industry’s most iconic portraits, particularly of supermodels Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington.
For decades, Elgort has worked as a photographer at Vogue, and his striking black and white and color photos have also graced the pages of Rolling Stone, GQ and Glamour.
Elgort’s works are featured in galleries and museums around the world, including the International Center of Photography in New York City, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
