Event Photography – Mobile DJ Blacklight Party in Romney, West Virginia

Photo Session Date: January 15, 2010

Photo Session Location: Romney, WV

Photo Session Details: Ashby Embrey, owner and DJ for Part “Ay” Music, requested that I photograph a teenager’s birthday party they were providing DJ services for. The party was a blacklight party, and I knew right away this was going to be a challenge. Any hint of a flash or external lighting would kill the blacklight effect within the photograph, not to mention that there would be a great deal of dancing and motion within the photographs. As a photographer, light is your best friend and for this request I knew I would not have much of it to work with. The resulting photographs turned out fairly well in my opinion and I learned a great deal from this experience (ideas on how to get even better photographs the next time around). I hope to work with Ashby and his DJ services company again in the near future to photograph more of their events.

Testimonial: “Aaron did a great job. Even though a blacklight party is a nightmare for a photographer, Aaron was able to provide us with a tremendous amount of great pictures. We will definitely use him and recommend him in the future.” — Ashby Embrey, Part “Ay” Music Owner
