Dance Beat Article

Dance Beat -Ed. 0613

Previously, I had posted that some of our photos from the 2013 American Star Ball were published in an article for Dance Beat. The 0613 Edition of the magazine started with an article about the event, and it features 15 photos from TimeLine Media! Thanks to our friends at Encore Ballroom Couture for saving a copy of the magazine for us. I am waiting to receive some extra copies from the publisher since it was a really good summary of the weekend.

Dance Beat has consistently published extensive reviews and recaps of ballroom dance competitions both nationally and internationally. With the amount of subscribers and advertisers that it reaches, it is definitely a privilege to have so many of the photos make it into the article. Thanks to Amanda and Ilya Reyzin for setting up a beautiful ballroom for good photos. The dark red accent colors against black draping really helped to contrast the lighting on the floor. In publishing to newsprint, it helps to have contrasting backgrounds for your subject. They also gave us all-access to the events both on and off the floor which helped to show off their competition more completely. I am confident that this will help to bring even more people to their event next year. It is always nice to see your work published but especially in a periodical dedicated to your specialty. Hope there are more chances to be in there in the future!

WeddingWire Rated – 2013

It was nice to see in my email that I have been noted as a WeddingWire rated business. I have not actively asked my previous wedding couples for reviews on my photography services, so it was really nice to see that some of them did this for me! As far as weddings go, I second shoot or assist primary photographers on weddings more than do these on my own, but I do enjoy covering these events.

Weddings are a lot of work for the photographer! It is a full 10+ hour day of shooting, and lots of editing time afterwards. Comparatively to ballroom dance events, the editing time can be lengthy because of many different lighting situations throughout the day. You can go from inside to outside, church to hotel, restaurant to hotel ballroom. They are really amazing days, but they will take a lot out of you. In fact, I have never come back from a wedding thinking, that wasn’t that much work! Thank you to everyone that sent in a nice review that earned me this badge from an organization that covers all types of event vendors. If you feel so inclined, please leave me a review here!

It was a great weekend for getting photos! The weather was so nice for being outside in late July. On this occasion, I made lots of personal photos, and some that I will post soon. We took some time to take a drive to a local spot for some different photos. I did have to work on lots of orders from these expiring ballroom dance events, so these may be on the backburner for a bit. While working on the photos I attempt to put them together in different ways. As can be seen, collages can work well for dance photos:

When working on this project, I start with a basic collection of 3 portrait – orientation photos. Luckily, it is easy to find these from Arthur Murray events. Adding the logo finishes the poster to give them a saleable look!
