I've always felt that dancers make the best models. They not only know their bodies on level most of us never will, and as performers, they know how best to display it. Ballet danseurs in particular form a natural nexus between their mind and their body. They understand angles, curves, movement and motion.
Given the highly theatrical ballets they so frequently perform, they also know how to express tension and emotion through their movement and poses. One of the best is danseur Florian Pohl. Florian studied with the Hamburg Ballet school going on to dance with the Hamburg Ballet company in 2009. He has been performing and a Soloist since 2019 and has also taken on the role of choreographer for several productions since 2012.
As you can see in this series of images, my theory about dancers and modeling are beautifully evident in Florian's work in front of the camera. Florian has worked with some incredible photographers, creating a impressive body of art and work.
