These photos are from another great event that TimeLine Media photographs each year, the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. Competition organizers Veronica Braun and Lee Nugent from Simply Ballroom VA in Richmond have worked hard to put together a really nice event for dancers to show off for judges and studio friends. It is held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center which has a large high-ceiling room with a beautiful dance floor.

It is also nice to see so many familiar dancers at this event. Being from the northern Virginia area, it is nice to see many instructors, dancers that recognize us, and know what we do. It emphatically does make for better photos! The trip to Richmond is very drivable. Additionally, the area around the convention center is very convenient to hotels, restaurants. Also it gives a nice variety to the type of venues we shoot. I am much more confident if anyone asks for photos in a large convention center room that I can light the room to get good exposures.

2013 Event

The convention center room is so large that I do have to adjust the way I light the dance floor, but we still get beautiful images of dancers in all styles. This year, they are planning a Professional Showcase Challenge to add to the program which should be a great show! We are excited about going back to cover the event this year, and we look forward to making more great images. See you there!
