I am delighted to say I carried out my first commission for the Royal Albert Hall recently. I have photographed a lot there in the past but I was always working for a different client.
I got to photograph something that I always find amazing which is ballroom dancing. This event was the International Ballroom Dancing Competition which is staged there every year. My brief was to capture the event in the Albert Hall rather than cover the winners and so on.
It is the most fun I’ve had in ages.
As a technical note the first image below was shot at ¹⁄₂₀th sec @ f2.8 at 6400 ISO. It was dark in there! And in case anybody is wondering I am on top of my digital colour management:-)
