I really enjoyed participating in this competition! Not only was this a nice setting for dance photos, but they added unique elements over the weekend. Firstly, there was a charitable component to some of the heats. At the end of the competition, the organizers donated to the Asheville Humane Society from the proceeds. Moreover, a resident of the Society visited with the dancers after dinner! With all the dog lovers in the crowd they were a big hit!

To conclude the event, Mykyta Serdyuk and Anna Krasnoshapka danced an amazing show! Their performance was in your face being that they were sos close to the audience! From a photographer perspective, my low angle and lighting worked well in this situation.

Finally thanks to Meghan and Jake for inviting me to their competition! Since we have never worked together directly, I thank them for the support. When in the Asheville area, go visit them at Wave Dance Studio. Likewise, be sure to come to their competition next year!

Meghan and Jake invited us to beautiful Asheville, NC. Given that this is a busy time for events, I was happy that I could make it this year! I made the trip down by myself on this occasion. Although I did not have any assistants, the organizers really helped me all weekend.

Their venue was amazing, in fact, looking like a much larger competition. You can undoubtedly see Meghan’s talent for design in the ballroom setup. Colorful lighting, a dynamic slideshow, and a huge dance floor was a great setting for the weekend. I hope you enjoy the images!

Outer Banks North Carolina

Shore Landscapes

During a break in photography assignments, we took a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is an easy drive from northern Virginia and is a nice break from our regular routine. Anytime you can be close to ocean waters you can really breathe a different kind of air for a nice recharge.

Creatively the ocean shore give so many possibilities. This is one place where getting up early before the sunrise will yield fruitful results for your photos. The far distant horizon will almost guarantee that you will have some glimmer of morning light even during over overcast mornings. A few mornings, I got up before the sun just to get a feel for what the light was looking like. It was enjoyable just to be out there before the crowds arrived, and when animals passed by both under and next to the breaking waters.

During our trip I found the beautifully set Bodie Lighthouse a favorite subject. It had a minimal setting from where the structure was set. The symmetry of the lighthouse and the clear backdrop made for some memorable images that I printed for my walls at home. At night, we made a trip to the site long after everyone else had left for the day. It was the perfect time to try a long exposure photo. I got what I was looking for, but I left quickly after all the snake warnings scared me from staying too long!
