The photos from last Saturday’s 2018 That’s Dancing Summer Showcase are ready to view! Although it has been a couple of years since I have been to their studio, things are going well. On this occasion there were 10 student showcases presented in the first two acts. To see all the photos, click here:

Marielle invited me back to cover their studio event, and some new developments for That’s Dancing. Because of a leak that damaged their floor earlier in the year, they have a new dance floor! Undeniably having a nice surface for dancing is essential for a studio. Now their space is ready for events as well practice.

If the costumes and make up look a bit strange, it is important to realize the Showcase theme. Superheroes tied all the dance numbers together obviously in the dress, but also in the music. Modern movie soundtracks consequently give inspiration through music tracks perfect for dancing!

The photos from the 2017 Fantasy Ball Dancesport Competition are expiring! After Monday, they will move them to the archive. Being that we had not been at this event before, we really appreciate all the support! Before archiving, the photos will be here:

Now that we have covered events since then, I really like these from the Fantasy Ball. Garry Gekhman elevated the lighting in the ballroom to emphasize the dancefloor. When adding my flashes, the background was so colorful for the dancers.

Professional Show

After the awards were given out, Inga Demetryan and Vard Margaryan danced a professional show. In summary, these two were really enjoyable to photograph! Seeing that Garry is also a coach to professionals, it would make sense that he would invite an amazing couple to dance the finale.

When we were photographing the show, Bryony let me know a fun fact. Vard was a fan of TimeLine Media from a long time ago! Following a professional competition, he wanted to purchase a photo from the slideshow of his dancing. Of course we accommodated him, and he used the image for a few years afterwards.

Thanks again to Garry for inviting us to his competition! Hopefully we will see him and more of you at the next one.

New Target – TEDxTysons

Last week I photographed New Target – TEDxTysons salon at Vinson Hall. Given that this retirement community caters to military families, it was fitting setting. As a matter of fact, all the speakers, and the hosts are veterans. Moreover their talks dealt with issues that military veterans are particularly familiar. In addition, there are many experiences that can translate to solving new challenges outside of active duty.

Once the salon started, a military band played to open the event! As can be seen the video team really worked hard to bring some visual interest to the back of the stage. For this purpose, they hung some string lights from the ceiling behind the speakers. Additionally, color spotlights set a dark, saturated tones in red and blue. Afterwards the after-show reception was an opportunity to meet the speakers one on one. Please go to the TEDxTysons website to see all the photos and videos from the evening!
