Talented American photographer Richard Calmes has managed to capture the beauty of dance, and his photo art is in high demand among collectors.

The Southeastern Regional Ballet Association invited him to be their Official Photographer in 2006. Next, followed the Regional Dance America Convention in 2007, where he photographed 81 companies, and thousands of dancers for seven days.
