Former principal dancer with the Kirov Stanislav Belyaevsky is an incredible photographer who understands how to capture the dynamism, drama and virtuosity of Russian ballet all in a single still image.  Most of his collections can be viewed on his site and include recent and breathtaking shots of the Vaganova Academy, the Varna Competition, the Helsinki Ballet and the Finnish National Ballet and School.

You will be inspired and in awe by these stunning ballet images. Belyaevsky currently has a few books of his work available for purchase, but you won’t find them on Amazon. These books are currently only sold on Belyaevksy’s official website.
