I’m back!

Mishiko Bregvadze and Alena Khoroshevtseva put on impressive demonstrations at Go Wild! Minneapolis Dancesport.

It’s been a minute since I’ve written in this space. I’ve been busy, though I’d be hard pressed to say with what. Suffice to say I haven’t had much to say so I took a break.

I recently photographed a ballroom dance competition called Go Wild! Minneapolis Dancesport, and boy did the dancers live up to the name. You can see most of the results here https://danzantephotographyllc.shootproof.com/gallery/21482145 Many of my photos were sent directly to clients who pre-booked my services for exclusive coverage of their rounds, so those images are not included in the gallery behind the link.

I find this concierge service more rewarding, both financially and artistically. It allows me to concentrate on just one couple at a time on the dance floor. The ad hoc photos of various dancers, shot at random, also can be great but the exclusive service offers more personal attention. My clients seem to like it as well.

I also brought my kit to a recent Argentine tango milonga (party), which was held at a private residence in the Minneapolis suburbs. Not many homes have such a nice ballroom, with large, inlaid wood floors and an alcove for a live band. Regular readers may recall that I have launched a personal project on Argentine tango and its many facets. This milonga is one I will not soon forget.

It’s been too long since I’ve made any portraits or professional headshots. I currently have some openings in my schedule so if you’ve been thinking about it, please reach out.

I’m available for studio or location work, including family reunions and other events. Give me a buzz or drop me a line
