With Simone Gvasalia

This class isn’t about general photography—it’s about the art of shooting in the dynamic, competitive world of ballroom. Through personal insights and hands-on advice, I’ll share my journey as a photographer, from my first ball to building relationships within the community. We’ll discuss the essentials of positioning, anticipating key moments, and understanding the culture to capture the energy and essence of the ballroom scene. Whether you're new to ballroom photography or looking to refine your approach, this class will give you the tools to shoot with purpose and confidence. We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A, so bring your questions!
