Editing Spring Freestyles – dance photos

Not a long post today as I am still editing the photos from last weekend’s events. The first one that I am working on is the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles held last Friday and Saturday. We had some great photographers helping out to cover the split dance floor. There are close to 12,000 images to go through, edit, crop, and sort by studio, so I hope to have these done by Saturday. Please stay tuned to the blog for updates!

For our booth, we displayed some nice large posters from the Columbia and Tysons Corner studios. They were the top two winners from the TimeLine Media Facebook contest! Although the original Columbia poster had all three shows on one, I decided to break them out separately. The dancers could have more exposure on each, and we could rotate the display a little. The studios were eager to have them which always makes us feel good to get the great response from them, and the other dancers attending the event! We will definitely do it again from the professional shows at the Freestyles. All the shows had some great moments, and I captures some good ones. It should be fun editing them after all the competitive heats.

I am busy working on another personal project for a local dance studio. It will combine graphic design and photography althogether. I can’t wait to show you the results! At this time, I have been using more of the Adobe software line, and I have been learning a lot about these programs. I will definitely be blogging more about this soon since the results are amazing. Have a great weekend everyone!

All of these photos are from the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. On this occasion, the event was held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Being such a large space, we enjoyed making photos of the dancers at this friendly competition. For this reason, you should send the link to anyone that would like to see the photos from this event.

For these posters, I wanted to up my photo collage game. This first poster adds some landscape – orientation photos along with portrait formatted ones. Additionally, I added an Arthur Murray logo to match a color present in the images. For that reason, I picked the orange, from a dress, and the lights installed above the dance floor.

In the second, I went with 3 square frames for the images. Obviously these are all cropped from the images since our cameras do not shoot in that format natively. To add some additional interest, I enlarged the center one. The blue – green logo comes from the ladies dresses to tie these all together. While working on these, I learned some nice lessons on working in graphic design software. Especially the logo which is a vector-based file, it is very flexible in this format. Do you made any of these? What are your favorite tips to make photo collages?
