Dust and Dance - Using Powder As a Creative Tool

Photographer Thomas David's latest project Dust And Dance incorporates the freezing of motion using fast shutter speed. A dancer is covered in powder/dust and is shot in front of a black backdrop while making brief dance motions.

Exquisite imagery. See the full photos and BTS video below.
