Arthur Murray – Professional Formation

Busy Sunday today! Someone on the email list informed me that I forgot to post photos from the professional formation from the last Arthur Murray DC event. So sorry! Of course, I did not mean to leave them off my blogging list. It was on there, however just waiting its turn. And here they are! These are my favorite photos from the Salsa professional dance formation. It was performed by the Gaithersburg and Silver Spring studios. The team performed the dance so smoothly – transitioning between partners, forming lines, circles, all while

Overall it is a lot to take in when photographing formation groups. Especially with the staff performing at a professional level, there is a lot to attempt to capture. Of course they have the dance figures, but they have the added element of their body position to other couples. With this in mind, I don’t think I have a good strategy for photographing this aspect. I do love having the chance to try!

It was a great weekend for getting photos! The weather was so nice for being outside in late July. On this occasion, I made lots of personal photos, and some that I will post soon. We took some time to take a drive to a local spot for some different photos. I did have to work on lots of orders from these expiring ballroom dance events, so these may be on the backburner for a bit. While working on the photos I attempt to put them together in different ways. As can be seen, collages can work well for dance photos:

When working on this project, I start with a basic collection of 3 portrait – orientation photos. Luckily, it is easy to find these from Arthur Murray events. Adding the logo finishes the poster to give them a saleable look!

Archiving Photos

With the Monday expiration of some photos from the website, I have received a few emails about why they are removed. I would love to keep all the photos easily accessible for everyone, but it is expensive to buy online storage. Each of these events are multiple gigabytes of data, and it costs a lot to keep them on servers permanently.

Web – SPACE

With this in mind I have implemented and archiving procedure to still have backups for all the images, but they are off the proofing site server. I keep them up there for as long as the server will allow before I reach my maximum data usage time, then I have to remove them to make room for new events. They are still backed up, and they are accessible later, so you still can get to them, but additional work has to go in to find them in the archive, and re-upload so that they can be viewable again. If you do have some photos that you think you may want to purchase prints for in the future, I suggest that you record the file name for the image. For example this is a full file name from an event:

0034-2013-AM-SSC

0034 is the image number, 2013 the year of the event, and AM-SSC indicates that this is from the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. If you have this information, I can usually get prints faster out of the archive when you are ready. If you know you have some previous event photos that you did not get a chance to see at the time, let me know! In the meantime, here are some photos of Smooth ballroom dancing from the 2013 Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles that are expiring on Monday. Enjoy!
