Dance Event today – DC Dance Challenge

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles

Just a quick post today as we are going to be photographing the DC Dance Challenge today in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building. This is a new venue for us in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. It will be a new setup and arrangement for us and the organizers of the event who originally scheduled this at the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo. With the federal government shutdown, a new venue was needed. Luckily, this is another top of the line space in the area for ballroom dancing. We wish luck on all the dancers today! By next Saturday, we will have the photos posted to the proofing website for viewing. You can leave you email address here to be notified as soon as they are completed with their upload, and are ready to view:

Venue Moved – DC Dance Challenge

Facts of life around DC have been challenging this last week. The government shutdown has drastically changed the way our area is looking, and there are many changes to daily life that is taking some adjustment. The Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park is run by the National Park Service. Without a federal budget, this park is closed, and no activities are able to go on at the site.

So tomorrow’s DC Dance Challenge has moved to the Atrium Ballroom at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown DC! This is a beautiful newer building built in the federal style to match the many government buildings in the immediate surrounding area. We are thankful that the organizers were able to arrange such a great venue in short notice! We are excited to shoot a ballroom dance event there for the first time, and of course, we’ll have the photos of the moved venue here on the blog.

The photos will definitely look different from the unique architecture and dance floor of the Spanish Ballroom, but we’ll do our best to make it look just as good in the photos. There is a lot of excitement about the competition this year, and the entries are always going up. We look forward to seeing more familiar faces on the dance floor tomorrow!

Fashion Photography – Clarenz Couture at Fashion NoVA

Last weekend, I photographed the last Fashion NoVA show at the Springfield Golf and Country Club in Springfield, VA. Previously, I posted about the venue which was a beautiful setting for this event. Lots of warm woods and lighting was a nice backdrop for getting photos of the models as well as the large ballroom where they held the runway show.

Much like at weddings the men get ready much faster than the ladies. They do not spend as much time with the stylists to get their looks together! So the guys dressed in a collection presented by Clarence from Clarenz Couture. The models were really excited to wear this collection. Amazing colors and patterns really showed up well on the runway and in the camera.

They were trying on the looks, and were ready with lots of time before the start of the show. I took advantage of the time, and asked if they would pose for some photos before any of the guests arrived. There was a really nice spot in the main stairwell going up to the ballroom where I made some photos of the suits.

Here the dark woods surrounding the stairs added to the saturation of the colors of the materials. A large chandelier in the sitting room next to the stair well nicely separated the model from the background, and added to the warmth of the image. I added one light from a flash off camera to bring them out of the strong backlight, and zoomed the flash head so it was concentrated on the top third of the models.

Thanks for Clarence and the models that presented the collection at the show for their time! If the goal was to show the designs in an appropriate space, I think it was accomplished. More looks to come from the rest of the show in future posts.
