Bollywood a Huge Success

Catrina and I had a great time shooting the Bollywood event at the India Center in South Charleston, WV on March 26th.  We learned a lot about Indian culture and diversity and were completely wowed by the dancing we saw.  I've posted some pictures from the event below for you to see.  Most important, a significant amount of money was raised for the YWCA of Charleston.

Several of the dancers wanted formal portraits, so we set up a make-shift studio in the basement.  We chose a white background because of its timeless look.  If you observe a magazine rack, you'll notice that about 50% of the covers are shot against a white background, so it's a great skill to have.  We have the ability to create this set-up just about anywhere.

I've also included two images from one of the dance performances.  I think they capture the essence of the event: colorful, dynamic, and exciting.  Enjoy!
