Photo Event Updates

Bethesda, Maryland

There are two big deadlines to the proofing website that I want to post here. Today is the last day for you to view and purchase photos from the USA Dance 2014 Mid-Atlantic Championships. This was the first big ballroom dance event that we covered this year. Moreover it was a great success for both the dancers, and for us as photographers! The web server has been very busy sending out images from this event since February’s release, to last weekend. After today, the photos will be removed from the server to make room for new events. Here is the direct link to the images:

The other deadline for today is the ending early-bird sale for the DC Area Arthur Murray 2014 Spring Showcase. There were some great routines in both the Smooth and Rhythm rooms, and we have photos from each of them at the website. There have been a few of you that have been designing albums from this event combining them with photos from the Spring Freestyles. If you did not know already, we can make albums of your photos, and you can use any image from events that we cover to be added to the book! Here is the link to the images from this event:

Thanks to everyone that has visited the website this year to view their images! It has been fun to see them going around the social networks. We try our best to have the best ballroom dance photos, and we love to see such nice comments when posted online. Please pass along the links to the events to any of your friends that attended and have not yet seen their images. I really would like people to at least see all their hard work that they put into dance preserved in our collections. We are set to make more soon, and will have a lot more to share here on the blog.

Headshots Friday

Tysons, Virginia

It will be a busy weekend for me – two large shoots are on the schedule. Tonight, I will be photographing headshots for the University of Maryland University College Alumni Association. They will be having a awards dinner and I will be setup to make updated headshots for those attending. With social media networks for both personal and professional uses, it is important to have a great profile photo. It is the first impression that you are making on prospective clients or employers. Let me know if you or your office have portraits that need refreshing for this use.

Also, I am excited to be photographing more dancing in Rockville, MD. There is another great event planned for Bachata Masters this weekend including workshops and a party with showcases. I have been invited to photograph a few of these, and they are always awesome events for some photos. The enthusiastic audience is so close to the performers, so the connection they make with their audiences is very intimate and exciting as they have been working with each other throughout the day. With the showcase performances, I try to do something different with the lighting to add something to the images. Some ideas are going around in my head, and I will definitely share them on the blog sometime soon.

Also on Monday, the photos from the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships are expiring. This will be the last day to view and purchase photos from this event before they are removed from the website to make room for new events. Thanks to everyone for visiting my websites, and be sure to follow me on Twitter or Instagram for updates throughout the weekend.

That’s Dancing Summer Showcase

Jessup, Maryland

Summer is undoubtedly in full swing in the DC metro area! We are starting to see more hot and humid days after a long winter. This past weekend, I was invited to photograph the Summer Showcase for That’s Dancing Ballroom and Dancesport Center. With regards to their scheduling, it seems like they could not be on more opposite ends of the scale! The last time I photographed their students and staff, we were worried about a winter storm canceling the event altogether. Last Saturday night, though, was a really nice evening, and I moving all my equipment in was much easier than last December!

At this time, the studio was specially decorated for the occasion. As with all their Showcases, they had a theme to tie in all the décor, music, food, and dress for the performers. The theme this time was “Dancing through the Decades”. There were trivia questions about pop music over the years, and popular food stuffs that evolved from Chex Mix to microwavable popcorn. The studio was decorated with nice shimmering backgrounds which created some nice backgrounds for the photos!

Carlos always has his students ready to perform, and I have a great time seeing their new routines! The variety in the dances is fun to see – from newcomers to more experienced dancers, Rhythm, Ballroom, Latin styles, and they usually have a staff formation where larger group performs a dance at one time. The photos have all been edited, and they are uploading to the proofing site now. To access all of them, please click the link below:

Carlos and Marielle always treat their vendors and staff so well! It is no wonder that they have such great events. In addition to these Showcases, they organize the upcoming Northcoast Ballroom Championships and the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. I hope you enjoy the photos!
