Marine Ball
Shooting events and portraits can often become hum drum. You have to stay on your toes. Find something to encourage your brain, keep your creative mind engaged. I usually find that in the details. The images that most people want come easily for me at this point. Dude at podium? Check, couples dancing? Check, portrait of guest speaker? Check, happy families and guests? Check and check. So dig for the details, the out of place, the different and unexpected. It all depends on the event, the venue, the people, the time.
At a marine ball, the cake is cut with a traditional Officer’s Saber, and Marines these days aren’t all men. I liked these details. I liked focusing on them, highlighting them and making images for them, all their own.
