American Star Ball Expires Today | Dance Photography

Today, the American Star Ball photos expire at the proofing site! It was a busy photography weekend for TimeLine Media! We had photographers all over the area the last three days, and we had lots of challenges. At this time, we had weather, computer, car trouble, and everything under the sun that we encountered. Firstly, I want to thank all the photographers that helped me to get the images that clients need. Now I have lots of editing to do, but it is ALL GOOD! Certainly, I am working right now to make sure I can get everything that we made out there for you to see. It may take me a little while, but the images will come soon – I promise!

At this time, the photos from the 2014 American Star Ball Championships expire today at the proofing site. There has been another rush of orders the last week as I sent reminders to the email list that they expire soon, and I have sent all of them out to you. After tonight, the photos will no longer be viewable as they are moved to the archive:

The competition was full of great dancing from start to finish! We made some awesome images of amateurs, professionals, and the special shows on each night. It made for a great variety from just the standard competitive heats, and broke up the event nicely. I know that the organizers are already hard at work for next year’s event, and that they are not planning to rest on their success from the last 2 years. We hope to be invited back, and to see you out there on the dance floor!

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!

Birthday Greetings!

Roxanne and Tom - ©TimeLine Media

Taking advantage of Facebook notifying friends about their upcoming birthdays, I just wanted to send birthday wishes to Roxanne. In fact, she reached out to us a few years ago when she took over two ballroom dance competitions. Specifically, they were the American Star Ball, and the New Jersey State Open. Since she was looking for a photographer to cover the events, we were happy to step in to work for her.

Undoubtedly it has resulted in us getting some of our favorite images from the dance floor! She has setup the ballrooms to be great for photos. For example – dark and colorful backgrounds, stadium lights, floor lighting, etc. We have met lots of great dancers, judges, organizers, volunteers, and have had a lot of fun on our trips to her events. They have run smoothly, and the guests really enjoy their weekends of dancing. Thanks for reaching out to us, we hope to have represented your competitions well in images. Continued luck in the future, and happy birthday! We hope to see you again this year!
