Tysons Corner Center
This summer was a celebration of 50 Years since the opening of Tysons Corner Center. In order to mark the occasion, the marketing team at the mall asked me to participate in an art project with Pindar Van Arman. To demonstrate the high – technology aspect of modern Tysons, Pindar programmed robots to paint photos of the Tysons area. With this in mind, the robots need a photograph as a base for the paintings, so I worked to get new images of the area. As a starting point, Pindar and I went to the Fairfax library image archive to find photos of the area from the 1960s that we could use as a reference. From these, we create new photos of the same areas, then the robots painted both for the project, Tysons Then and Now. I think it was a success, and you can still see the results hanging in the mall!

Thanks for visiting my blog! I make photos for commercial and personal photography projects. Currently, I enjoy making new headshots either at my studio space, or on location. Other popular projects I photograph are marketing and branding images for retail spaces and professionals. If you flip through the blog, I have lots of examples of my previous work, but I am excited to find new people to collaborate on new images. Also, leave me any feedback on what you would like to see on the blog. Thank you!
