Arthur Elgort’s photograph The Nutcracker, NYC Ballet captures the timeless elegance and magic of one of the most iconic ballet performances. In this black-and-white image, dancers in delicate tutus adorned with sparkling details perform amidst a flurry of falling snow. The composition highlights the grace and synchronization of the dancers, their raised arms and flowing skirts creating a sense of movement that is both dynamic and ethereal. Elgort’s mastery of light and texture enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene, evoking the enchanting atmosphere of the holiday classic. This work not only celebrates the artistry of the New York City Ballet but also preserves the fleeting beauty of a moment onstage, immortalized through his lens.
Claudia Schiffer causing a mob in Rome, Kate Moss dancing on the tables in Paris – star photographer Arthur Elgort has eternalised some of the most iconic moments in fashion photography. Elgort is a lover of all things beautiful: ballet, haute couture, or the rough attraction of the Rolling Stones. Through his signature ‘snapshot’ style supermodels of the ‘80s and ‘90s, from Linda Evangelista to Christy Turlington, appear both larger-than-life and authentic at the same time. Shaking up the stiff and wooden style of studio photography at the time, Elgort ventured into city streets, cafés, and parks to create carefree styles that took on a life of their own.

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.

In this captivating black and white photograph, the scene unfolds with young ballet dancers adorned in pristine white tutus. Positioned before a window, soft natural light bathes the space, casting gentle highlights and shadows on their poised figures. The dancers are in the midst of preparation, their graceful postures capturing a serene moment of anticipation before practice. The contrast between the purity of their tutus and the shadows adds a timeless elegance to the composition, emphasizing both the discipline and artistry inherent in ballet.

American Ballet Theater Dancer Lupe Serrano in 'Swan Lake'
By Jack Mitchell
Located in Senoia, GA
11 x 14" vintage silver gelatin photograph of American Ballet Theater ballerina Lupe Serrano performing in 'Swan Lake', 1966. Comes directly from the Jack Mitchell Archives with a certificate of authenticity.
Jack Mitchell, (1925-2013) bulging photographic portfolio of actors, writers, painters, musicians and especially dancers describes a pictorial history of the arts in the late 20th century. Mr. Mitchell, who took hundreds of pictures for The New York Times, was both a portraitist and a capturer of complex motion. An expert in lighting, he worked mostly, though not entirely, in black and white, and he was known — by his subjects, by the magazine and newspaper editors he worked for, and by critics — as someone who could make a photograph reveal character.
Jack Mitchell was the official photographer for the American Ballet Theater, and he chronicled the work of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for more than thirty years. When he retired in 1995, he had fulfilled more than 5,000 assignments in black and white, and nearly a thousand in color. He photographed more than 160 covers for Dance magazine, and his photos have appeared in Time, Life, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Vogue and many other publications.
Mitchell’s photographs are in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, among others. The 2019 USPS Black Heritage postage stamp honoring American performer Gregory Hines was made from a Jack Mitchell photograph, and a Jack Mitchell photograph of Audre Lorde...
