Finishing Events

©TimeLine Media - 2013 Paragon Open - finishing edits

I am finishing edits and upload of the 2013 Paragon Open photos. They will be available to view by tomorrow morning at the latest. Although I was not there in person for the competition, these images were very nicely done! On this occasion I wish I could have seen all the amazing performances in person.

If you are on the mailing list, or you like the TimeLine Media Facebook page, I will post on those two places as soon as they are ready to view. You can get on the mailing list by filling out the form at the bottom of the blog page, or by signing up at the Paragon Open event at the photo proofing site.

I want to thank Mario Brathwaite, a photography colleague of mine that was able to cover this event for us. He has covered lots of other events with us, and I trust him to get more great images of ballroom dancers when I cannot be there myself. He made some great images from this event, and I am anxious to share them with you! The finishing line is within site, so please bear with me just a little longer.

Arthur Murray – at the New Jersey State Open

When you travel far from home for work, it is always nice to see familiar Arthur Murray faces. Going to the New Jersey State Open is always a privilege to photograph because of the quality of the competition organization, and the dancing all weekend. During the professional competitions, it was really nice to see studios that brought a large contingent of students with them to cheer them on! Of course the crowd is always more excited when the professionals are twirling and moving quickly up and down the floor, but this element was reminiscent of our local events. It really upped the enthusiasm, and their dancers really responded!

I did get photos of all the dancers on the floor since they were all making some nice lines on the floor. But I did yell for our local favorites from the Arthur Murray in Silver Spring, MD!

There were a couple of favorites from the Arthur Murray studios in New Jersey. They came sporting their studio jackets, and always had a lot of support for their students and instructors when they were on the floor.

It was so nice to see them show off their skills on a big stage! We hope to see all of them at another competition soon. It is not difficult to find good photos when they are on the floor.

This event was held at the Hilton McLean in Tysons Corner, VA. The photos have a very different look from our other recent photos due to the setup of the large ballroom where this event was held. This was probably the dimmest room we have photographed in a while, so almost all the light from the photos is from our flashes. In order to keep from blinding the audience and other dancers, we have adjusted our lights and shooting style. The photographers wait for the dancers to be in the sweet spot for the light before taking their photos. Because the reach of the flash is lower in this room, we could not shoot as far down the floor as in other rooms. But I think we made it work, and we thank everyone that ordered some prints and downloads of their images. The last event that we will cover for the Arthur Murray studios this year will be the Fall Showcase coming up in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for photos from that event soon!
