Tysons Corner Center

Last week, I photographed the launch party for the Babes Who Create DC Chapter. As a photographer this was an awesome assignment! Besides many attendees that were familiar with how to pose, and willing to make images for their social media, it was not difficult to make images. There were many creators that attended as the first event for this group. Moreover, the BrandBox team from Tysons Corner Center set up the space with so many opportunities to keep these creators engaged.

At first, the Wolf Trap Animal Rescue brought puppies that were available for cuddling right at the entrance. Also in the room were a number of retailers showing off their products appropriate for social media influencers. From furniture, to clothing, fitness machines, and makeup, there was plenty of things available in the mall to try. For photography geeks, there was a 360-camera available in the middle of the room. Nothing like Matrix-style portraits to boost your Instagram!

Tysons Corner Center

During the first quarter in 2020, I photographed a number of smaller events including Rent the Runway in Tysons Corner Center. While going through this temporary location, I ran into a bride whose wedding I photographed! Since this was the first time they had this at the mall, there was a large crowd going through all the racks. They had fashions for all ages and sizes, so they did not mind my photographing the scene.

SNAP! Entertainment

Also down in the BrandBox area, there was a fun gaming pop-up from SNAP! Entertainment. Whereas I would spend all my quarters at an arcade back in the day, this was some nice free entertainment! If video games were not your thing there were plenty of ‘analog’ selections from air hockey to checkers that were available for family fun.

Open Professional Competition

During the professional competition, I was tense! as I have noted, these are not as good for my photos compared to the shows. On this occasion, there seemed to be more competitors than usual. Because of that fact, it was difficult to get photos of everyone. For fear that I would miss, I tried to capture one photo of a couple, then move on. It was a bit frantic, and I was unsure if I was getting anything good.

For the Rhythm heats, I changed my position. By comparison there would not be as much chance to see everyone. By elevating my position above the crowd, I was assured of a clearer path to the floor. In short, I think I covered it, but I know I could have done better!
