I had the pleasure shot recently Chase Johnsey on assignment for Sphere Magazine (FR), in its special number "Les Danseurs" (The dancers). Working with Chase was so much fun, and I'm very grateful to Mathias Benguigui and César Marchal for their trust.

Chase Johnsey is an American ballet dancer. He is the co-founding and current Artistic Director of Ballet de Barcelona. Johnsey, who identifies as genderfluid but uses he/him pronouns, is reportedly the first male dancer to join the female ensemble of an international ballet company.
