Professional Staff Shows

Obviously this was a different event setup. Because of the new scheduling, a two-day event became one. Moreover, everyone had to dance on Sunday to participate. In order to make this work, there were more people on the dance floor at once. Likewise, it was much more busy for the teachers dancing with students. Nevertheless, they did a great job during the heats, and changing quickly for the professional shows. Although it was a compressed schedule, we still had a great finale for the professionals to show off their skills. Of course this is inspiring to see, but it also is great marketing for the studios. Selfishly, it makes for great photo marketing too. Enjoy!

Columbia Arthur Murray Silhouettes

Columbia, Maryland

To say that this was one of my favorite photo shoots is somehow an understatement! Leisa Howard, owner of the Columbia, MD studio had this idea for updating the images in the studio. Although I have photographed MANY dance events, this would be a very different collection of images. The goal was to make Arthur Murray Silhouettes using the staff at their studio. Since it would be easier to set this up at their location, I brought all my lighting to do the shoot there.

Compared to dance events, these photos were made under much more controlled circumstances. As a lighting setup, I had two flashes firing into a white seamless background. This is not typical for me but on this occasion, the goal was to completely separate the subjects from the lighting. With this in mind the dancers are moved far from the background lights so that they fall into darkness. In effect they become silhouettes in an extreme contrast of subject and background. Afterwards I boosted the contrast even more to be black and white. This look mirrored some retro images of Arthur Murray posters of the past which is very appropriate for their walls.

DC Area Arthur Murray studios

The photos from last Sunday’s Arthur Murray 2016 Summer Showcase are now ready to view at the TimeLine Media proofing site! We were excited to head back the Hilton McLean in Tysons, VA for another event. Although it was on an unusual day on Sunday, the dancers came ready to perform.

Student Showcases

At this time, I only got to photograph in the Rhythm room. Having photographer friends that can assist is so helpful! While they were covering the smooth routines in the last room, I was in the smaller room with the energetic music! Indeed, I do enjoy listening to the driving beats in the rhythm room. Moreover the exciting tracks get the crowd into the performances as well! Without a doubt this helps the dancers with a little boost to their energy. It brings out just that little bit more from their movement to impress the judges!
