pherank Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I don't yet know the photographer, but this is one of my personal favorites from the world of dance. [EDIT: This is a photo of the Albertina Rasch Dancers in costume for Rio Rita (1927). Photographed by Alfred Cheney Johnson.] Link to comment

pherank Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 So funny! ^^ They remind me of a flock of birds. -d- Hello Diane - "flock of birds" sounds about right. I thought that their poses were the perfect mix of stylization and natural movement. I went ahead and added the credit information to my original post. Link to comment
pherank Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Here's a few more photos of the Albertina Rasch Dancers. I enjoy the aesthetic of these old photos. "Albertina Rasch (January 19, 1891 – October 2, 1967) was a naturalized American dancer and choreographer. Born in Vienna in what was then Austria-Hungary in 1891 to a family of Polish Jewish descent, Rasch studied at the Vienna State Opera Ballet school and became leading ballerina at the New York Hippodrome in 1911.She formed her own dance troupe, The Albertina Rasch Girls, and the Rasch Ballet, starred in a number of Ziegfield productions. She also appeared at the Moulin Rouge, performed with Josephine Baker, toured with Sarah Bernhardt, and opened a Manhattan dance studio (where Bill Robinson taught tap) before adapting her classical training and techniques for the Broadway theatre and films."

pherank Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Nikolay Krusser has a rather massive Instagram page with many shots to look through. I get the impression that these are his "extra" photos (not appearing in professional publications and the like): https://www.instagram.com/nikolaikrusser/ Link to comment
pherank Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Erik Tomasson's website (SFB staff photographer) has many nice images to scroll through (roll over the right side edge to see the arrow). http://www.eriktomasson.com/Each of the 3 categories - Editorial, Portraits, and Dance - features mainly SFB dancers Link to comment

rg Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 a few guesses here, some more confident than others: The SYM C reh. moment is most likely by G.P.Lynes The RUBIES shots of McBride are Swope The MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM reh. with PMcB & GB is on the set of the Oberon film production (i have some prints of this same shoot and if i can lay hands on them i'll see if they're stamped w/ photographer's credit). The Vogue Farrell is ? The DON Q rehearsal kiss is a Life Magazine photographer's The DON Q promo ? Link to comment
