I am trying to catch up from the long weekend today. Though, I do have lots of photos to work on for orders and other edits. Hopefully, you have recovered from the weekend by the time you read this! Thanks especially to everyone that visited the proofing site looking at the newly released photos from the American Star Ball.  Here are some favorites from the Pro Rising Star Rhythm competition. This was held on Friday evening – starting with a 9 couple Semi-final heat and 6 couple Final.

These were from the semifinal round. At this time, there are more competitors on the floor as the couples are vying for a spot in the finals. Subsequently, the dancers gave their best to impress the judges. They only had a few moments to catch the judges eye for a good score. While photographing this hear, I am more anxious to capture at least some good photos of each couple. The high energy, quick dancing makes it seem even more fleeting when they start dancing. Enjoy!

American Star Ball – Pro Competition

It is another busy weekend for pro photos! I helped another photographer friend shoot a beautiful wedding yesterday on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. My camera does need to get outdoors for exercise 🙂 Overall, a wedding will give you all the workout you need! While I have been photographing so many dancers, a wedding is more of a departure than I remember. At this point, I am hopeful that I was helpful for the day. There are a few more weddings on the schedule this year, so I am feeling good about them!

Also, I have to go back and review images for orders to the lab. Thanks to everyone that has gone to the website to view and purchase photos. We especially appreciate the support of our photography through purchases. It keeps us going! Here are some images from the American Star Ball pro heats.

Amanda and Ilya set up another beautiful Atlantic City ballroom this year. Although I am biased to the color red, I really like how this accent color pops out of the frame. It invokes a retro feel in fact. It is especially appropriate for a ballroom dance competition.

From here I am resting for a bit from the computer since the photos are released. Whenever I think about the repitition of covering ballroom dance events, I think about John DePalma. Not only does he emcee competitions, but he has a studio and organizers his own events. While we watched him at work this weekend, he gives the same enthusiastic delivery at the last heat as he did with the first.
