If you stumbled upon my website, you most likely came here looking for your ballroom dance photos. We have been dancing for 8 years, and we enjoy this hobby to get out of the house. Additionally, it will challenge the mind for a few nights a week. This hobby, much like photography, has led to getting more involved than we ever planned. But we have met so many nice dancers. Moreover we have enjoyed capturing them on the dance floors, both professional and not. These photos are from the 2012 USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships.

We have been privileged to be the official photographers for this event every year since 2009. It is held in Bethesda, Maryland ever year for amateur couples looking for comments from judges and acquiring points for Nationals at this National Qualifying Event. Every year, we get some of our best photos of the year from the dancers there. Of course we look forward to this competition! If you are at all interested in ballroom dance, this is a great event to attend to watch or get your feet wet if you are contemplating competing with your partner in a large competition. Competition dancing is inspiring to watch and these dancers will give you something to shoot for you in your own dancing.

Contact the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of USA Dance for more information. We will be there again this year, so come out and see us!

DC Area Arthur Murray – Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

We are all packed up and ready to shoot the 2011 Fall Freestyles! On this occasion the venue is the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. It will be another great event organized by the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios. Although it has not started, we have a good idea on what to expect. Surely there will be enthusiastic students and instructors cheering on their friends.

Dancers will show off their hard work from the studio on the big floor. It is always a good time, and the dancers love to view their photos as we go through them. Obviously we can’t wait to get some great photos of the professional shows that cap the event on Saturday night. In general, I save portfolio images from these pro shows as they are the capstone for a weekend of dancing.

I hope to see you there! As soon as we finish photographing, I start the post processing which takes a few days. Photos from the event will be posted here by next week:

2010 NFL Football

Last season was my first chance at photographing professional 2010 NFL Football – you know, the good kind :-). Shooting for Southcreek Global Media, I got access to shoot training camp for the Washington Redskins at their campus in Ashburn, VA. They routinely had good crowds for the practices, and all were anticipating a great season for the team. During one of the practices, the PR team gave me and some other photographers access to the roof at Redskins Park to get a wide view of the practice fields and the crowds –

Warmups was an opportune time to capture repeating elements in the frame with many players huddled together –

I also photographed two games at FedEx field in Landover, MD – a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, and a Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Rex Grossman playing in a 2010 preseason game – he will be the starter for the beginning of the 2011 season –

DeSean Jackson catching an early pass from Michael Vick before some of the crowd even got to their seats!

Head Coach Mike Shanahan having a long night against the Eagles and the officials –

It turned out to be a record-setting night for Michael Vick as his Eagles won 59-28.

Not surprising, ESPN has great lighting for post-game interviews!
