2014 American Star Ball

Sorry for no posting on Friday! I forgot to send out a message on here that there would be no blog post since we were in Atlantic City, NJ covering the American Star Ball Championships. It was a busy, but productive weekend for TimeLine Media. We were able to catch up with a lot of ballroom dancers and friends that we see only on our trips north. The hosts, Ilya and Amanda Reyzin were terrific hosts to the participants, and to us over the three days.

As usual, we made lots of photos – close to 9000 images of dancing on the floor, some behind the scenes, awards, and some special requests as usual throughout the event. There were also some great shows at the end of each night of competition. There were formations, and other group performances that were well-received by the dance crowd. We were very happy to make memorable images from the weekend. We are now editing and sorting the photos so that we can share the entire collection with everyone. By this weekend, all of the photos will be available to view on the proofing website:

We are so thankful to everyone that came by the booth to look at their previews, and had questions about their photos. Over the week, I will post updates on here to let you know the progress of their status. The judges and other volunteers worked very hard this weekend, and it paid off with such a first-class competition. You should be proud of your efforts, and know that most if not all that came will be back next year. We hope to be there too!

This event was another great one for photos. I have posted many times about how much the setup the ballroom at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City works well for our photography. With the size of the ballroom, we have a lot of flexibility on how to light the room. In having 2 events to shoot there annually, the setup is much easier for us now. Having the knowledge of where you want to setup your gear, and where you want to position yourself to shoot, allows me to just concentrate on following the dancers on the floor. Then it is easier to get better photos, and have less “test shots” to go through before they get good!

At last years, NJ State Open, there were some nice exhibition showcases prepared by both amateurs and professionals which added a lot of personality and theatrics to the event. This added some different images from the competitive heats that we see at other competitions. There was also time for some general dancing on Saturday evening, and other non-ballroom dance shows to enjoy. Keep this event in mind for this October and visit the competition website for updates as the dates draw near!

This weekend, TimeLine Media will be covering the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles event in Chantilly, VA. There will likely not be any updates on the blog, but I will be posting updates on my Twitter Feed, the Facebook page, and my Instagram Feed when I get the chance. See you on the dance floor!

Arthur Murray Editing

The editing from last weekend’s Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles is going well! I have about 7000+ photos to edit and organize by studio. From the small sampling I have seen, I like the results, and can not wait to share them with everyone. Stay tuned to the blog here to get some small previews as the edits progress. There are a lot of pre- registrations at the proofing website for updates, so you can be sure I am working as fast as I can to finish these. In the meantime, here are more of my favorites from the expiring ballroom dance event.
