2014 DC Dance Challenge photos expiring

Washington, DC

We are well into the 2015 season of ballroom dance events! Last week we released the photos from the 2015 Maryland Dancesport Championships. I was overall very pleased with those images. As can be seen, it was great to make a new set of awesome images from the dance floor. With the new images coming online, it is time for some of last year’s collections to expire. Today is the last day to view and purchase photos from the 2014 DC Dance Challenge. To see the photos one final time, you can visit the TimeLine Media proofing site here:

2014 DC Dance Challenge
Competitors at the DC Dance Challenge

This was second year that the event was held in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. If you have never seen this amazing structure, you need to pay it a visit! Located in the heart of Federal Buildings in downtown Washington, DC, it is a perfect setting for an event with “DC” in the name. Right on Pennsylvania Avenue, the dancers were set in a large ballroom that projected the strength and grandness associated with city.

For this one-day competition we saw a lot of familiar faces. Being local to the DC area, it was great to see friends out on the dance floor to show off their new dance loops, costumes, and what they have been working on over the past year. Jennifer and Fabio Bonini, the organizers of the competition, ran it very smoothly. We ran on time and had great accommodations throughout the day. There were no stops in the action, and the decorations for the evening, really set it apart for the Showcase competition and Professional exhibition.

I personally grabbed a lot of images that I am keeping in my portfolio. It is a different looking ballroom from most that we cover. It does mean that there are some changes that have to be made to the lighting setup, but it is a nice challenge to work through. I like having photos that are still my style in terms of how the dancers look towards the camera, but having a little different light falling on them just to give the eye something different to see. I hope you enjoy these, and will come back for more events that are on the schedule soon!

Above all, thank you to Ilya and Amanda Reyzin for having us cover their event again this year. This is one of our newer events that we are photographing, and they have really hit the ground running. You would not have known that they have not been organizing this competition for years. There was a lot of technology implemented throughout the weekend, but the dancers went on and off the floor smoothly. Most importantly, everyone had a good time! We saw a lot of networking between dancers from many different studios. The organizers, and staff from the competition w ere engaging with the crowd, and we made sure to get photos of them all!

We really enjoyed looking over these photos. The setup of the ballroom, and the artistry of the dancers made our job easier. It was busy all weekend long, and that was the reason for so many awesome images. We hope you enjoy them, and please share the link with any dance friends that would like to see your photos. Thank you!

There are just so many images that I am proud of from the last year. I still plan to do some sort of retrospective on the blog. The variety of shoots that I did really helped to round out my portfolio. It was great to get experience in new venues and different subjects. I have some new ones on the schedule that I am really excited about sharing with you this year. The first big event on the calendar is the upcoming Maryland Dancesport Championships on February 5-7 at the BWI Marriott. Amanda and Ilya Reyzin are the new owners of this competition, and we are so happy to be working with them again. They run a very smooth competition, and attract a lot of great dancers for their events. Stay tuned here for more as the date gets closer!
