I had the amazing good luck to shoot a pair of performers from Cirque du Soleil's Avatar show a few days ago. This is Giulia, and she did things on the straps I can barely believe. And you should see her on the pole - she came second in the world pole dance championships in Tokyo in 2010 - and she hasn't lost any of her skills since then.
You amazing people see this image first - before she does, even.
More to come in the September magazine. =D
