American Star Ball Expires Today | Dance Photography

Today, the American Star Ball photos expire at the proofing site! It was a busy photography weekend for TimeLine Media! We had photographers all over the area the last three days, and we had lots of challenges. At this time, we had weather, computer, car trouble, and everything under the sun that we encountered. Firstly, I want to thank all the photographers that helped me to get the images that clients need. Now I have lots of editing to do, but it is ALL GOOD! Certainly, I am working right now to make sure I can get everything that we made out there for you to see. It may take me a little while, but the images will come soon – I promise!

At this time, the photos from the 2014 American Star Ball Championships expire today at the proofing site. There has been another rush of orders the last week as I sent reminders to the email list that they expire soon, and I have sent all of them out to you. After tonight, the photos will no longer be viewable as they are moved to the archive:

The competition was full of great dancing from start to finish! We made some awesome images of amateurs, professionals, and the special shows on each night. It made for a great variety from just the standard competitive heats, and broke up the event nicely. I know that the organizers are already hard at work for next year’s event, and that they are not planning to rest on their success from the last 2 years. We hope to be invited back, and to see you out there on the dance floor!

Foxtrot Professional Show | Dance Photographer

Runaway winners of the poster contest was this image from the Arthur Murray – Ashburn, VA studio:

It received close to 60 votes at the TimeLine Media Facebook page! It was great to see so many people sharing and liking the photo. I confess that was one of my favorite posters too. It was a fun show, and the dancers did a beautiful job with the performance. In addition, my eyes really like the light green color splash from her dress, and his tie. Matching their color to the title for the poster really made it pop out from the rest for me.

The Foxtrot is always one of the smoothest of the smooth dances. The two of them display this walking feel in the images. Their knees are bent, with them staying low through the dance. It easy to differentiate these images from the Tango with its harder, straightened knees, and obvious holds in movement. These two really made the dance look like it flowed from one part of the floor to the next even out of the dip in the poster! To see all the photos from this show, they are still available at the proofing website:

Just as with all the staff members in the posters, these shows were performed after a full day of dancing with their students! They will gather again this weekend to do more at the Fall Freestyles. I will definitely have more photos to share with you on the blog after then. If you have any suggestions as to what to do for the next round of posters, let me know! I have a few ideas, but nothing is set yet. It may depend on how the shows and photos from those turn out. Thanks again to the Arthur Murray studios of the DC Area for having us cover their events again this year!

American Star Ball Expiring | Dancesport Photography

Looking ahead in the schedule, I can see that I will be occupied with a lot of things in the coming week. Because of this, I want to let anyone that reads the blog and social networks of TimeLine Media that the photos from the American Star Ball held last May are going to expire from the website on Monday, September 15, 2014. This weekend of ballroom dancing was packed with lots of action photos, and thanks to everyone that visited and purchased their favorites since they were released.

It has been a while since I have viewed the photos from this collection, and I have forgotten a lot! The grand ballroom at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City is a great place to shoot ballroom dance photos. Especially in the way these organizers set it up. Of course, sitting at the short side of the floor gives you a long distance to blur the background. Concurrently, the dark red and black color theme really helps the photos pop off the screen. Digital cameras have always liked red. Although sometimes a little too much! But it is much easier to dial that back down than to try to find a good saturation level later.

The other good part about going to this competition was the participation from all the dancers, volunteers, organizers, music directors, and other entertainers that contributed so much to the weekend. Amanda and Ilya Reyzin have really put together a great team, and they make sure that everything – including the vendors – have everything they need. We have enjoyed working with them and providing great images for their guests. We hope to see all of you at the 2015 American Star Ball next year!
