Shorthorn Shots of the Week 9/24

This week I worked on an event for Hispanic Heritage Month at UTA called Celebrando la Vida meaning "Celebrate Life". The performance exhibited dances from different states in Mexico and Latin America while giving the audience background in the the cultures history. I did a quick video to give viewers a taste of the performance and shot stills alongside one of our new photographers so I could give him some tips along the way. Enjoy.
