If you feel like you’re watching a cinematic production when you see Cade Martin’s photographs, it’s because film inspires many elements of his work, from potential locations and staging to the way light falls through the trees. For his work with the Washington Ballet, Martin was able to use the influence of the cinema to create images with a unique sense of story and character. In his photographs, he aims to capture moments that seem to continue beyond the picture itself.

The Washington Ballet project, in collaboration with Design Army, is now published in “Wonderland,” a commemorative book of lush images.
