Photographed underwater for their production of Ondine, which tells the tale of a water nymph who is the object of desire of a young prince. Ondine was initially created by choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton and composer Hans Werner Henze. Ashton originally produced Ondine for the Royal Ballet in 1958.
