Busy Week | Virginia Photographer

New Jersey State Open

Back to work this morning! It has been a busy few weeks, and I am still catching up with all the photo shoots and requests that have come in to the studio. The weather has taken a dip in temperature, and the colors in the trees have started to come out! We have been out taking photos of all the colors before it becomes too cold to go outside. From inside, there are a lot of things going on. We are preparing for a trip to Atlantic City this week to cover the New Jersey State Open.

There is a change of venue this year, so we will be setting up at the Bally’s Atlantic City. Although registration is now closed online, there is still time to call the organizers to dance this weekend. There have also lined up some great entertainment apart from the great dancing on Saturday night. We are excited about making a new collection of ballroom dance photography, and I will definitely show some of my favorites here on the blog when we get back.

Also on the website, there is a collection that is expiring today. The dance photos from the That’s Dancing Summer Showcase from last June will be removed after midnight. This is the last chance to view and purchase prints or digital downloads from this event.

I enjoy going up to their studio to capture their choreographed routines two times a year. Their staff is creative in putting fun, entertaining shows while teaching school figures. They also do a great job with their efforts to have a theme for all their showcases. It helps to tie in all the performances, and the audience is involved in the activities between dances. I am sure they are hard at work for their upcoming Winter Showcase pieces!

American Star Ball Expires Today | Dance Photography

Today, the American Star Ball photos expire at the proofing site! It was a busy photography weekend for TimeLine Media! We had photographers all over the area the last three days, and we had lots of challenges. At this time, we had weather, computer, car trouble, and everything under the sun that we encountered. Firstly, I want to thank all the photographers that helped me to get the images that clients need. Now I have lots of editing to do, but it is ALL GOOD! Certainly, I am working right now to make sure I can get everything that we made out there for you to see. It may take me a little while, but the images will come soon – I promise!

At this time, the photos from the 2014 American Star Ball Championships expire today at the proofing site. There has been another rush of orders the last week as I sent reminders to the email list that they expire soon, and I have sent all of them out to you. After tonight, the photos will no longer be viewable as they are moved to the archive:

The competition was full of great dancing from start to finish! We made some awesome images of amateurs, professionals, and the special shows on each night. It made for a great variety from just the standard competitive heats, and broke up the event nicely. I know that the organizers are already hard at work for next year’s event, and that they are not planning to rest on their success from the last 2 years. We hope to be invited back, and to see you out there on the dance floor!

American Star Ball Expiring | Dancesport Photography

Looking ahead in the schedule, I can see that I will be occupied with a lot of things in the coming week. Because of this, I want to let anyone that reads the blog and social networks of TimeLine Media that the photos from the American Star Ball held last May are going to expire from the website on Monday, September 15, 2014. This weekend of ballroom dancing was packed with lots of action photos, and thanks to everyone that visited and purchased their favorites since they were released.

It has been a while since I have viewed the photos from this collection, and I have forgotten a lot! The grand ballroom at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City is a great place to shoot ballroom dance photos. Especially in the way these organizers set it up. Of course, sitting at the short side of the floor gives you a long distance to blur the background. Concurrently, the dark red and black color theme really helps the photos pop off the screen. Digital cameras have always liked red. Although sometimes a little too much! But it is much easier to dial that back down than to try to find a good saturation level later.

The other good part about going to this competition was the participation from all the dancers, volunteers, organizers, music directors, and other entertainers that contributed so much to the weekend. Amanda and Ilya Reyzin have really put together a great team, and they make sure that everything – including the vendors – have everything they need. We have enjoyed working with them and providing great images for their guests. We hope to see all of you at the 2015 American Star Ball next year!
