The project "Between Backstage" starts in 2015 when the Ballet school I attended in my childhood give me a pass to be able to mix among its students in the previous moments before the grand exhibition.A single function, to which I have the privilege os attending every two years.It is an open project,which will continue an upcoming appointment in 2021.I am attracted to the dancers representation which they are preparing for,or they have just finished.It is usually intuition that guides me more than detailed planning of my expectations.Above all, I am interested in capturing emotions, feelings.
Leila Forés was born in Spain.She studied Higher Studies on Image and Photography in Valencia.After her studies, she fails to live on photography, and that produces a reflection towards it lasting 15 years.In 2012 she ignores digital photography, and her curiosity leads her to retake it,training online and self-teaching.It is there when she discovers a new expression line and develops a personal style with some intimate and reflective themes.The exlusive use of b&w,the blur,the movement,accentuate the emotional look and the essence in compositions and play of lights.
