Ira now travels the world, capturing the
astounding talents of renowned dancers
on famous stages, studios and landmarks
across the globe. As her ballet models are
dancers that hail from different theatres
around the world, each image is infused
with its own unique aura.
“As a professional, I can show the beauty of
ballet in my work - I feel and see how to create
the perfect movement within the image and
it allows me to better communicate my ideas
to the models,” says Ira.
Ira’s favourite model, the one gracing our
cover and other images seen here, is her sister,
Elizaveta Cheprasova, a soloist for the Hungarian
National Ballet Company State Opera.
“I have had an exceptional and very strong
bond with my sister since we were children. We
feel each other perfectly and this contributes
to seamless results when she is in front of my
lens. I admire her and I am proud of her. We
support and inspire each other - she is my
miraculous muse,” gushes Ira.
