Black and White Ballet Stretch by Berlin Window

A black-and-white photograph of a ballet dancer in a minimalist studio, standing by a tall window and stretching. Soft morning light pours through the glass, painting the wooden floor with long shadows. The dancer wears a leotard and tights, one leg extended up the window frame in a graceful stretch, toes pointed. Through the window, Berlin’s urban landscape appears—modern glass towers mingling with historic brick buildings, hints of street lamps and distant spires. The scene uses high contrast and gentle film grain, with shallow depth of field so the dancer is in crisp focus while the city blurs slightly in the background. The composition emphasizes clean lines: the dancer’s legs, the window mullions, and the verticals of the skyline. The mood is quiet, cinematic, and timeless, evoking documentary photography of mid-century Berlin.
