Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month I photographed the 2018 Lunar New Year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to last year, I knew that there would be a lot of showcases set up around the event, and some fun shows to see. This time, they held it on the ground floor of Fashion Court. Unlike the Concourse where I last photographed this event, the two floors allowed for more people to view the events from above and below.

During the shows, I was able to move on the escalators to both areas. Since the crowd was attracted to all the sound and colors, it was packed soon after everything started. Surrounding the showcase floor, booths about Chinese culture were setup. I saw my friend Victoria Wu making her Mei Mei Fine Teas. Overall, it was a fun display celebrating the Year of the Dog!

2017 Maryland Headshots

2017 Maryland Headshots

Studio Session

Earlier this year, I brought my lighting kit to Studio Arto for a 2017 Maryland Headshots session with some clients. From time to time it is inconvenient for clients to come to Virginia for their studio sessions. So as to accommodate, I found this Studio in Rockville, MD that worked nicely! Although I have my own set, this studio included the lights in the rental fee.

At this time, I had to familiarize myself with the set up in the studio. Prior to my current brand of lights, I had the same Hensel lights that they had set up in the studio. With one light hanging from the ceiling, it was easy to change the background as can be seen in the photos. Comparatively, you can have the gray wall above, or the white below depending on what look you are going for. On one hand, the middle gray can be a little ‘warmer’ looking. But the white background is very clean, and easy to cut out the background if you would like the transparency to use in graphic design documents.

Tusculum Farm

Last fall, I photographed the 70 Year Celebration for the Carl M. Freeman Companies. Since I had not been to this venue before, I arrived very early for the event. Tusculum Farm in Laytonsville, Maryland was where the employees and their families met for the celebration. This was a particularly beautiful setting for an outside celebration. Again, I was thankful for the referral from current clients for new work!

As the day progressed, there were so many activities for guests to do. There was plenty of food and drink to sample from barbecue to beer trucks. Additionally, there was a cigar specialist that was giving tutorials on smoking cigars with sips of brandy. While walking through the farm, I was impressed with the art pieces that made the place more interesting than the typical farm. Finally, the group photo of all the employees that could make the 70 year celebration capped a great Freeman Day at the Farm.
