Twitter – SingStrong

I am taking a break from the blog today! Yesterday, there was quite a lot of activity on my Twitter account. Follow me @rassigborneo to see some of the postings from last weekend’s SingStrong a cappella music festival. I have started posting some of my favorite photos on my Twitter feed to show to the performers. There were so many great performances, and the lighting setup on the stage really helped to make some dynamic photos. I’ll post more on the blog here in the coming week. Have a nice rest of the weekend!

Overall, I really enjoy sharing my images on the blog. It is my own space on the web, but undoubtedly social media has a lot of reach. At this time, I realized how much after this music festival. Especially with the enthusiastic fans getting such close access to their favorite musicians, these photos were shared many times! Being that I am new to the Twitter game, please send me along some tips. I enjoy the interaction with fans and other photographers. Moreover, I also find other similar photographers as people tag their favorites along with mine! It is an amazing way to make new connections.

It is always nice to see your work published in places other than your blog! The latest issue of Sheer Dance Magazine has some photos from the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships. There were dancers from their local area that competed. With this in mind they requested that some of my photos be used to accompany their story. I am adding this to the collection!

Magazine Photo Prints

Thanks to the publishers that run this magazine. They were up front with their request. Photographers are very nervous about having their work stolen online, but sharing work is the best way to get your name out there. If you are a publication that is looking for good images, please do not steal work from photographers or other artists that work just as hard to produce the work in the first place. It can be mutually beneficial to reach out and discuss what both are looking for in exchange for usage.

I have found that being open to opportunities to share work has really opened a lot of other avenues for me. It shows that I have a good collection of images spanning a length of time, and it gives confidence that I can go and create more strong images in the future for prospective clients. Having additional reach through publications is really an important marketing piece for photographers, and I encourage others to do the same. Share your work with as many as you can! You never know who may read an issue, and remember the impact that you images create.

SingStrong 2014 – First post

This is the 5th year that I have covered this annual a cappella music festival. In college, I sang in a group and their scheduled performance at this festival 5 years ago spurred me to ask the organizers if I could get access. Now, I volunteer to cover it every year just because it rekindles my love of all-vocal performances. SingStrong donates all proceeds from ticket sales, merchandise, and the silent auction to the Alzheimer’s Association. Singers from across the region, and even farther will travel to attend workshops, and perform in the shows over the weekend.

It is so nice to cover singers that are sharing the passion for their art with similar minds. The styles that all-vocal groups can take is widely varied. Groups can be choral, or barbershop, they can specialize in covering pop songs, or all original music, and some take advantage of technology to loop voices or use microphone technique to emphasize percussive mouth drumming, or beat boxing. Whatever brings you to a cappella, you will be able to listen to leaders in the genre at SingStrong. I have been introduced to many different groups, and have enjoyed seeing what they come up with every year.

Here are just a few of the photos from the weekend! I will be finishing up the edit soon. If you were in a group, or are looking for a specific section of photos, please let me know, and I will pass along the link to those when they are ready. It was just another great weekend overall for charity, and for singing. In future posts, I feature other photos either on stage, or behind the scenes. Enjoy!
