Editing Monday

©TimeLine Media - 2013 Salsa Bachata Throwdown

I have a lot of photos in the editing room today! My schedule is filling up with shoots for the early fall, both client and personal work. It has been enjoyable to email with people about their upcoming projects. There are ballroom dance events, fashion runway shows, as well as personal and professional portrait sessions. It is also a big season for weddings, and parties as we get to the end of the year.

If you are planning a special event that you may need photography, please send me an email ( rassi @ timelinedc.com ) or give me a call 703-864-8208. There are many venues and other vendors that I have worked with so I can help if you need suggestions in planning. Of course this blog is where I showcase my work, but I also have a portfolio website at www.timelinedc.com that I am currently updating and editing. Every website should be updated regularly, but my newest photos will be here on the blog first!

As a reminder, one of the events I covered earlier in the year was the 2013 Salsa Bachata Throwdown in Rockville, MD. The photos will be expiring on the website today, so they will no longer be available to view after tonight. Love the energy and athleticism in these photos! Well, I need to get back to editing.

Sports Photographer Idols – Part 2

Covering Sports

In a previous post, I wrote about a sports photographer that I observed while shooting from the sidelines of a professional football game. Another photographer that I have seen through online videos and blogs is Dave Black. He has been published in all the major sports magazines and has covered the BIG events. These include multiple Olympic Games and championship finals. Not only is his photography portfolio stocked with amazing images, but he is a big proponent of sharing his knowledge with fellow photographers. Through educational workshops, he openly shares from his experiences to help other photographers improve their skill level. Here is one of the lessons that he emphasizes when I have seen him teach.

Photographers have to be in the right position

The audience is there to experience the action and performance of athletes. It is the photographer’s job to record their performance and convey the story of the action to viewers that are not at the event. Even though you can be right on the sideline, there can be many distractions that can get in the way of capturing the moment, so photographers much anticipate this, and prepare to be in the best spot.

Sometimes you are lucky, and the action comes directly to you, and sometimes, it is halfway across the field. The background in the action is also especially important – it cannot be too distracting, or it will take viewer’s eyes away from the subject. For me, I am looking to see where dancers will be holding their lines to the audience. This is where the best photos will come. Sometimes, though, it will be to the opposite side of the ballroom, but I must take my best guess as a sports photographer.

Dance Photography

Dancers will sometimes repeat the order that they do their figures. Additionally if they are in multiple heats, or there are quarterfinals, semifinals, etc. you can have a chance at catching them in the next round. It is really satisfying to catch a moment in a routine that I saw in a previous dance. Perhaps I missed it because I was focused on another dancer. Or I was not in the right position with respect to the dancers. I remember these moments long after the weekend is over, and more than likely keep those photos in my portfolio.

Canvas Prints – Tech Thursday

©TimeLine Media - hanging prints in living room

For customers visiting the new TimeLine Media proofing website, I try to give lots of options for displaying your photos. For hanging on the wall, I prefer canvas prints compared to framed paper prints. The presentation of the image is very modern. Without the frame or matting, there is no other decoration surrounding the canvas. The wall that the canvas is hanging on becomes the backdrop, helping to pop the image even more. Here is an example of a display of prints in the living room:

Printing on Canvas

These four prints are each 20 x 20 in size. As a recommendation I would not hang any image smaller than 11 x 14 on the wall. Many think that an 8 x 10 is sufficient, but for me, it would be too small to appreciate anywhere but up close. The larger prints allow the images to be a focal point in the room as soon as one enters. On the website, I do offer 8 x 10 canvas prints in case it will hang in a small space, or hallway, or if you want to put a collection of them together against a wall. I would be happy to discuss with you about how displaying your prints as a single or collection would work for your wall space. I enjoy working on a collection like this one in a while.

Additionally, here are some detail images of these prints. They arrive well-packed from the lab to your home ready-to-hang! They are mounted with a wall hanger and bumpers on the back of the print to prevent any damage to paint on your walls.

Canvas prints can be made in most popular image sizes, but custom dimensions can be made too! The image is printed directly onto canvas, and is wrapped around a wooden frame. Sometimes the image can be made to wrap around the edge, or it can be wrapped with an edge of black, white or any custom color. These were wrapped on white edges.
