Arthur Murray Showcase Posters | Ballroom Dance Photographer

Tysons, Virginia

For new posters, I had to look through 13 Shows! Wow! I got a little worried when the emcee announced this at the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. Do I have enough battery in the cameras? Do I have enough memory cards in my pocket? When it comes down to the professional shows at the end of an event, the entire crowd positions their seats at the edge of the floor. I squeeze myself in between some nice dancers and stay there until they are finished! Thanks to everyone that does not mind me hanging out by their feet while watching these awesome shows.

Since the next Arthur Murray – their Fall Freestyles – is just around the corner, it is time to make some new posters! With 13 shows, I had a lot of work to do for these. To make it a little simpler, I decided to have just one image on each of the posters. Additionally, I wanted to have the dancers selected out of the background with color. This was a favorite effect from the feedback that I received from the last set, so I decided to do that again but I knew that something else needed to be added.

If you couldn’t guess from the examples so far, I went with a 3D text effect. Originally I was going for a superhero title since there seem to be so many movies from this genre over the summer. Luckily, there are a lot of 3D effects that you can add to text or other layers very easily in Photoshop CC 2014. I will go over what I learned while working on these on a future post, but I wanted to get these out soon for voting.
