Toulouse

Soulshine Voices Band

A surprising band for Crazy Rhythm Challenge.
Why surprising? As they play gospel / soul music and not swing music. So many times the audience was not dancing couple dances but was watching the band, clapping, jumping, waving. Did it work? Yeah, we had fun!

When the lights go out …

…it creates special mood for both the participants and the photographer
Participants get excited – that’s clear. And what about the photographer?
He’s crying and laughing at once. Gets desperate and excited. And confused and challenged. And I could write it long…
I was really challenged during Crazy Rhythm Challenge. Light creating flares, lights coming from the wrong way and lighting the wrong spots, no lights at all, too light or too dark scenes. After all I could turn many of these situation to my advantage – watching back these pictures.
I remember how strange people watched me when I was hanging my flash to the ceiling on the top of a ladder …

Still crazy

You do not need competition for crazy high mood. These pictures are still from Crazy Rhythm Challenge.
Besides social dance moments you can see the first jam of a really young dancer. I’ve almost stolen the show as I was laying on the ground within the jam circle to make this picture :)
