Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles – Professional Showcase

Arthur-Murray-pro-show-www.timelinedc.com

Overall, I am making lots of progress with the photos! This is usually a Tech Thursday post, but I really want to work on more of the edits and sorting of the Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles photos. Still on track to have them up by Saturday – if there are any delays, I’ll let you know here on the blog or on Facebook. In the meantime, here are some photos from Tess and Jumarcelon’s professional showcase dance. These two are from the Arthur Murray studio in Silver Spring, MD. It was one of the awesome shows that ended a great weekend of dancing. I’m sure a few of these photos will make it into the portfolio

The dimension from these photos really impressed me! Due to the lighting, we have the popping out of the frame. Additionally, it the flash adds a nice shimmer to the green gloves, dress, and tie. Generally, I do not think about this when setting up for photos. However, this really shows nicely! Perhaps it is the contrast between her sparkle, and his dark suit that sets it apart. What do you think?

Spring Freestyles editing

Tysons, Virginia

The photos are coming along nicely from last weekend’s Spring Freestyles. I am still editing and am coming across some cool images! There are some new things that I have not seen or noticed in ballroom dance photos previously. I’ll write about it more in a future blog post, but for now, I must get back to Lightroom! Photos will be uploaded to the proofing site by this Saturday-

Now that I am home from the event, I am thankful for the help last weekend! To cover these is a big job requiring a lot of stamina from photographers. Although it can be one of the best assignments with all of the great music, and the enthusiastic energy in the ballroom. Have you ever attended these events previously? I would like to receive some feedback on my photos and how they capture the event. Obviously I think they do capture the dancing well, but does it relate to a larger audience at all? Since I am embedded in all of these, I don’t know how they would come off to someone that was not there. Or to someone that is unfamiliar with the dance scene in our area.

The photos from last weekend’s Spring Freestyles are looking good! I am still at the editing stage, and still hope to have them up by Saturday. If there are any delays from putting them on the website, I will let you know here on the blog, or on the Facebook page. Here are a few favorites from Friday, as I came across them. Enjoy!

Similarly to other Freestyles, the ballroom was filled with so much energy! Although some of it was nervous, much of it was encouraging energy being sent to the dancers on the floor. Particularly, studio mates helping to push their friends to get out of their heads and have fun while they have the floor. As can be seen, it really helps to get smiles while they are working through butterflies, and executing their figures. Whenever you get out there, it is almost impossible to dance as well as you did at the studio. However, it makes the experience worth if when you get out there at Freestyles!
