Take a Look: ‘Black Swan’ Behind-The-Scenes Photos by Ray Lewis

Image credit: Ray Lewis

It was only a little more than a year ago that the entire film world was taken by storm by Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. I remember how everyone and their mama was raving about the movie and Natalie Portman’s Oscar-winning performance. Alas, as with nearly all movies, time has gone by and no one is talking about the movie anymore.

Thankfully, photographer Ray Lewis was lurking on the set of the film for three months and has recently released some pretty awesome photographs he took during the shoot. Not only are they an excuse to talk about this wonderful movie once again but they are also pretty cool to look at.

    Wow! some really nice pics from an amazing movie. Well done!

  3. Film needs a full-on Criterion Collection DVD/Blu-Ray release!

    They’re all great and that last one especially is my favorite. Once his football career is over, Ray Lewis has quite a career lined up as a photographer.

    Great film and those pics are wonderful.

    Great pictures! Portman looked creepy in the 2nd image.

  10. I got a chuckle out of thinking of Ray Lewis the linebacker taking these pics. I don’t know why. Humorous juxtaposition I suppose, LOL

      The fearsome linebacker hanging out on the set of a movie about ballet, being all serious about taking awesome pictures with a camera that’s probably all tiny in his gigantic hands.

  11. Beautiful set photos. Man I really enjoyed checking these out. Loved the film too. thanks for these, Castor.

  12. Stevee says:
