National Capital DanceSport Championships (NCDC) – Saturday photos are up.

Well after what was a very very busy week for me catching up on 1,000’s of photos not only from the National Capital DanceSport Championships (NCDC) but the Australian Salsa Open in Sydney the week before I have now processed and uploaded the photos for the National Capital DanceSport Championships (NCDC) Saturday competition to my on-line store. YEAH…

This year I wanted to do something different than last year, I wanted to put some effort in creating some truly outstanding images.  Images that really showed the feeling of dance to the rest of the world..

I wanted to show the beauty and glamour of such a sport and bring in a touch of class to my images.

For me to do this I had to concentrate on the quality of the image so unfortunately as part of that I was not able to capture everyone and only a select few that came appeared in the picture that I had created in my head.  So if I didn’t manage to capture you, I am truly sorry.

If you did miss out or want to ensure I capture you at the next event you can pre-book a photographic package that will ensure that I am there to capture every move and you will get images of your performance but in in a different style that will make you not only stick out from the crowd but give you something to cherish for generations to come.

Now sit back and go order some photos from my on-line store!!!! 🙂

The Stomp Charity Dance Event for 2014

Each year the Latin dance community puts on a charity dance event that not only is a great night out but OMG its a dress up as well……

Now last year I popped along not know what it was all about
and was totally surprised by how professional the event was, not to mention the number of people rocking the floor.

From a strict entertainment point of view, this is a great night out…  The show that they put on is fantastic and while it comes across as a Latin dance event it is soo much more…

They have a full on night filled with performances of all sorts and last year they had like a circus of performers along with the most exceptional dancers from all styles that you could imagine…

Now one of the best things about this event is not that it is a great night out, has more than enough entertainment to fill they Sydney harbor or that it has more rock than the rolling stones…  No…  Its because every single cent raised from this event go to charity!!!!

All the organizers work for free.  The equipment is for free and I am also working for free..

Last year was a rocking year for the event and I know to talk to Mark (organizers)  has some very special things lined up for this year.

So what ever you are doing in your calender on the 26th of July go along and cancel it NOW and rebook to come along to this great night out at the Albert Hall here in Canberra.

On of forgot to mention that this years theme is Mythology so you have to come dressed up in that theme and take it from me you will only feel left out if you dont come dressed up….

What more info them pop over to their facebook site or drop me a line.

National Capital DanceSport Championships – Congress

If you attended the 2014 National Capital DanceSport Championships Congress I have a special treat for you…

I am giving away all the photos from the Congress…  Why would I do such a thing?  Well easy really..  I see the future of dance and the extraordinary levels that were on display at the NCDC through the attendance of people to Congress.

The talent that was before the people was awe inspiring and I don’t dance!!!!!  I was surprised about sitting there listening to the presenters that they all had a common theme.  A theme that was not solely dance related.  They spoke about the challenges they faced and how they overcome them, they spoke about the mindset that it takes to succeed and they spoke about the commitment to give it there all even though it was tough..

This my friends was not a dance congress but a life congress.  Well done to everyone that attended as you are taking steps in the right direction to not only becoming a better dancer but a better person.

So if you did attend the congress you are free to download any or all of the images from my website.  Simply click on dance from the menu on the left then select the Congress gallery.  From there you can open the images and right-click to save them to your computer. 🙂

Enjoy.

June! What a month of dance.

With the end of June, I look back over what was and I must say it was one of the busiest months I have ever experienced.

At the beginning of the month it took me to New Zealand where I photographed the New Zealand Salsa Congress in Wellington and then drove around the North Island to fly out of Auckland, to come home and then travel to Sydney to photograph the Australian Salsa Open over 3 days, followed back to back with the National Capital DanceSport Championships here in Canberra.

I must say while it was a very busy month it also one of the most satisfying and I learned a lot, got to try out a lot of new lighting ideas and would do it again in a heartbeat….  Well at least give me a few months to recover…  ha ha ha

One of the privileges I get as an event photographer is that I not only get to meet all the performers but I get the background information about the events and I am in awe at the dedication and commitment the people that organizer these have..

They work tirelessly for months beforehand so everyone can enjoy the event…..    So from all the performers please accept my thanks.

I would also like to thank all the performers and the people that attend these events because, without you, my photography wouldn’t be where it is today.   The dedication that you put in is outstanding…  which is why I do my best to capture your memories in such a way that brings out the emotion and feeling of the event.

So thank you….  I really do appreciate it and value and respect every one of you that stand in front of my camera, even if sometimes you don’t know I am there.  🙂

Coming from a non-dancing background I just love it how the dance community has embraced me and my photography and with your support I will continue to be there to capture your very special memories.
