Competition is nice, however, professional shows are my favorite! Now that an professional competition is a more regular occurrence, I appreciate these even more. Comparatively, the crowd is more settled. Similar to a tennis match, they do not want to distract the dancers. However, they still have the same excitement internally. In similar fashion, I sometimes wish my camera shutter was quieter on a gentler show. Given that I still need to get the photos, I forge on. Soon, I get over it since I know you can’t hear the sounds in the still photos later. Without a doubt, I had plenty of candidates for posters from these shows. I made some to display at the recent Spring Freestyles! It’s a great way to illustrate what these studios can do. It also attracts people to join us for the next one!

Washington, DC

Stemming from a referral from another photographer, I covered the Carahsoft 2019 Gov Con in Washington, DC. On this occasion, their event was held at the Grand Hyatt, a hotel fitting of the name. Attendees would be in the conference center, attending lectures and breakout sessions during the day. For the most part, I would be outside of these sessions creating headshots at a step and repeat.

Since the booth was a little slow on traffic at the beginning of the day, I went into the conference center to see the opening remarks. Of course, I am familiar with so many of the Adobe products, and these attendees would be discussing their newest tools for government agencies.

For the most part, I was outside at the step and repeat. The background was branded for carahsoft, and Adobe the two sponsors for the event. When people would come by, I offered them an updated headshot. Not only was this a little out of my comfort zone, but it is immediately broke the ice. The subsequent quick headshot session was much less awkward to go through comparatively! As I warmed up to the situation, I had a nice long line of people that wanted to get new portraits made. I ended up having a great time, and I hope I made a good impression for carahsoft and their guests!

2020 Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles photos Released

First Ballroom Dance event

The photos from last weekend’s 2020 Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles photos are now ready to view at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Following the event, I had to give a big thanks to the team that helped me get through this weekend. Undoubtedly I would not have made it through without them. A couple of days before the event, I threw out my back loading and unloading gear out of my car! It made me much less productive than usual for the setup and photographing this weekend. Surprisingly, we did not have any issues – maybe I am not as essential as I thought!

The Hilton McLean in Tysons, VA was the venue again for the DC Area Arthur Murray studios to gather. In addition to the studios that regularly attend, we were happy to see the new Arthur Murray Richmond studio come with their students! By and large the event ran smoothly even with a delayed start on Friday afternoon.

We had the chance to get out on the dance floor this time. The team of photographers that we had working with us were very reliable, and we need to shake off some dancing rust. Thanks to everyone that stopped by the booth to say hello, and to check out the posters we made from the last event. I have tried to sort all the photos by studio, but I am sure there are some misfiled ones in there. In that case, please send me an email, and I’ll be sure to correct them. Thank you!
