Aaron Pegg has been photographing people on the subway for two years as part of his ongoing @underground_nyc Instagram series, but ballerinas are one of his favorite subjects.
“It’s such a great contrast between two art forms — the gritty subway with the elegance of ballet,” says the Lower East Side resident, whose subjects include dancers Brittany Cavaco (kicking it at Canal Street), Kelly Kakaley and Ingrid Silva. “I love working with ballerinas because they’re perfectionists. They make you want to be a perfectionist as well.”
