Posters – American Star Ball

Today I am working a little differently with my photos. I am making some photos to display this weekend at the 2013 American Star Ball. I print these at a size of 20 x 30 posters to display at our booth. The large size should hopefully attract attention along with the new pull up banner that I made to replace the old one that I have used for a few years. I had to look through some of my favorite image from previous competitions and decide which ones to print. This is always the hardest to do! In all, I found three that I decided would work. Here is one of them:

From a previous post, I talk about selecting this particular image for printing. At that time, I had the color of the dresses in mind. However, when I put the titles onto the poster, there was too many distracting elements in the frame. So I desaturated the photograph to simplify.

If you would like to see the others, and watch some great dancing, come to the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, NJ this weekend. We will be there Friday to Sunday. I am hoping to get more great ballroom dance photos this weekend. Here is the ad for our photography coverage.

American Star Ball

I have been slacking! It has been quite a few posts since I have posted ballroom dance photos. This is the event that I shoot the most, and I think I am pretty good at it by now. Our next event is right around the corner, the American Star Ball at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, NJ. Keeping fresh by shooting other assignments has me itching to get to the edge of the dance floor again. Here are some of my favorites from last year’s event.

At this time we are getting excited about our trip north! The new organizers, Amanda and Ilya Reyzin, are also getting ready to put their stamp on this event. Since this will be their first event as the organizers, they have said that they have changes coming! By all means, they have a great canvas to work with. The ballroom at the Golden Nugget is in fact my favorite room to photograph dance events!

American Star Ball – getting ready

In a few weeks, we’ll be going up to Atlantic City, NJ for the American Star Ball. This will be our 4th time covering this event as the official photographers. This year, the event is under new ownership, Amanda and Ilya Reyzin. I was happy that they wanted to continue working with us at the event. We try to work with competition organizers to get them the best images of dancers and venues so that they have images to promote their event and give dancers dynamic images to take home from the event.

If we are a part of a decision for dancers whether to attend an event, I would be very proud. When we got to events, we are asked our upcoming schedules, so I hope at least some are tracking with what we are doing. I’m sure there will be lots of changes with the event this year, but I am excited about getting the chance to cover them for everyone that plans to attend this year. Stay tuned to the blog or the Facebook page for updates during and after the event.
