Ready! American Star Ball

We are all setup and ready to begin the 2013 American Star Ball. We have the booth, the lights, and all the computers ready to cover some dancing this weekend. Should be fun! Stay tuned for updates. The photos will be posted to the proofing site about a week after the event:

As can be seen in these preview photos from my phone, there is a departure from the decor! Surely this will change the look of the photos. Please come back to see some of the results soon.

UPDATE! Now the photos from this event are now ready to view at the proofing site. I have received feedback from dancers that they happen upon different posts from an event. So, I want to ensure that everyone that sees a post knows when the photos are ready to view. If you have not already, you can see updates at our Facebook page or sign up for the email list to be notified directly when the photos are ready. With this in mind, I know that I have asked before, but let me know how you received updates from me. Is the blog still good or is there another method that you find works best? Thank you!

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!
