For these posters, I wanted to up my photo collage game. This first poster adds some landscape – orientation photos along with portrait formatted ones. Additionally, I added an Arthur Murray logo to match a color present in the images. For that reason, I picked the orange, from a dress, and the lights installed above the dance floor.

In the second, I went with 3 square frames for the images. Obviously these are all cropped from the images since our cameras do not shoot in that format natively. To add some additional interest, I enlarged the center one. The blue – green logo comes from the ladies dresses to tie these all together. While working on these, I learned some nice lessons on working in graphic design software. Especially the logo which is a vector-based file, it is very flexible in this format. Do you made any of these? What are your favorite tips to make photo collages?

River City Ballroom photos expiring soon

This is the second year that I have not been able to be there in person to photograph the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. Regretfully we are double-booked with events these weekends at this time. But I made sure that they still received quality photography from one of my associate photographer, Nick.

Since he is a resident of Richmond, VA, it was easy for him to cover this event for us. I received the photos from him and did all the post-processing of the images before being uploaded to the proofing site. This was so that everyone will have a consistent experience when viewing and ordering photos from TimeLine Media. He captured lots of great photos of the routines and the competition throughout the day. Moreover, I am glad that many of you found your photos. Additionally thanks for placing orders to keep! The photos will be available to view at the proofing website until July 29, 2013:

Arthur Murray – Chevy Chase, Maryland

It’s finally Friday! Do you have all your weekend plans ready yet? I am working on some ballroom brag books and other special orders that were placed this week, but I hope to take a break and get more photos to blog about soon. Today is a post is from the Arthur Murray studio at Chevy Chase, Maryland. This was a cool, flirty, West Coast Swing Medley professional showcase. Veteran pros Tavia and Austin showed off their West Coast for us! It looks so easy for them to do this challenging dance. I have tried a few basic steps and had to put it on the shelf for a while – my mind and feet are not quite ready!

These two have done lots of shows at the end of these events. Moreover my favorite ballroom dance photo of 2012 was from their Viennese Waltz performance. While I really like the photo, I am so glad that they feel the same way! They have quite a variety in the dances they perform, and I enjoy how their images display. Hope you enjoy them too!

If you were at this event, let me know what your favorite show was. Of course you can view all the photos at the website, but perhaps you can go from your memory. It would be interesting to hear the perspective from others in the audience at the same time.
