I took some photographs at the first Portland Blues Dance competition at Portland’s Lenora’s Room. It was a very fun event and got some great black and white dance pictures of the dancers. The rest of the night was filled with great blues dancing as well!
I have been very interested in shooting video for some time now. I actually want to go into directing at one point in the future.
So I decided to do some videography, photographing my favorite subject matter: dance and dancers! This particular video was shot at a Portland Blues Dance party. I love low light photography, so low light video is a perfect fit.
Here is a video that is mostly my footage (except for the interviews). It is expertly put together and edited by John Tillinghast. Camera work in interviews is by Dan Kaufman. My footage starts around 0:26 mark.
I had the pleasure of attending Portland Lindy Exchange this year as well. It was a blast. Due to my travel schedule, I am only able to post Day 2 at this point, but check back in about 10 days and I will post the other days as well.
