2015 DC Dance Challenge photos Released

Downtown DC Dance Competition

The 2015 DC Dance Challenge photos released at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Last weekend, we enjoyed seeing some local dance friends at they competed at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Once in a while you get the opportunity to photograph in some grand spaces. Without a doubt the Ronald Reagan building was one of them! Luckily, we had a nice setup for our lighting, and a large space to freely move around to get nice images of the dancers.

Certainly being supportive was the top priority for the dancers attending this event. We have been covering this event for Jennifer Bonini for a few years now, and she keeps the friend vibes going by being such a great host. Meanwhile the dancers really give it their best when they are out on the floor whether their heats are contested or not.

As far as the photos at the website, I have tried to sort them based on the number worn by the gentlemen during competition heats. If there are any that have been misfiled, please let me know!

2014 DC Dance Challenge photos expiring

Washington, DC

We are well into the 2015 season of ballroom dance events! Last week we released the photos from the 2015 Maryland Dancesport Championships. I was overall very pleased with those images. As can be seen, it was great to make a new set of awesome images from the dance floor. With the new images coming online, it is time for some of last year’s collections to expire. Today is the last day to view and purchase photos from the 2014 DC Dance Challenge. To see the photos one final time, you can visit the TimeLine Media proofing site here:

This was second year that the event was held in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. If you have never seen this amazing structure, you need to pay it a visit! Located in the heart of Federal Buildings in downtown Washington, DC, it is a perfect setting for an event with “DC” in the name. Right on Pennsylvania Avenue, the dancers were set in a large ballroom that projected the strength and grandness associated with city.

For this one-day competition we saw a lot of familiar faces. Being local to the DC area, it was great to see friends out on the dance floor to show off their new dance loops, costumes, and what they have been working on over the past year. Jennifer and Fabio Bonini, the organizers of the competition, ran it very smoothly. We ran on time and had great accommodations throughout the day. There were no stops in the action, and the decorations for the evening, really set it apart for the Showcase competition and Professional exhibition.

I personally grabbed a lot of images that I am keeping in my portfolio. It is a different looking ballroom from most that we cover. It does mean that there are some changes that have to be made to the lighting setup, but it is a nice challenge to work through. I like having photos that are still my style in terms of how the dancers look towards the camera, but having a little different light falling on them just to give the eye something different to see. I hope you enjoy these, and will come back for more events that are on the schedule soon!

Atlantic City, NJ | Dancesport Photographer

Thanks for the organizers from the New Jersey State Open for an amazing weekend! We just came back from the Bally’s Atlantic City where the dancesport competition was held last Friday and Saturday. Congratulations for the dancers that performed so well on the floor, and also the organiers, judges, and officials that ran a very smooth and efficient event! Most heats were run early, and the heats were very full over the two days. The Traymore ballroom was beautiful for photos, and I am going through them now for processing, and will have them uploaded to the proofing site by the end of the week. To add you name to the email list, you can leave your address at the event here:

Since we are coming to the end of the year, we are gearing up for more holiday family photos, and event photos. I still have some spots available, so contact me if you need refreshed headshot photos, or photos for holiday mailing.
