Sujata Mohapatra is a diva of Odissi dance. These photos were taken during a session with her at Duke University on November 16, 2010 during her residency at Duke University. Additional photos relating to Sujata Mohapatra can be viewed on this website. These include photos from her Odissi dance performance at the Hayti Center in Durham, NC on October 30, 2010. As part of her residency she trained a troupe of dancers for a performance at the Duke University Dance Program's November Dances. Images from this dance concert are also available on this website. For additional information about Sujata Mohapatra, see her website. For more about the Odissi dance, see its entry in the Wikipedia. These photos are only new photos in the sense that, almost 10 years after the session with Sujata, I have re-edited photos from the session. This what my first dance studio session. I was much less skilled as a photographer then. Although the captured photos are what they are, my editing skills have increased over the years so that I have been able to "improve" the captured photos substantially as a photo editor.
