2018 Emmes Headshots

2018 Emmes Headshots

Rockville, Maryland

Last year, I updated some portraits at a 2018 Emmes Headshots session at their Rockville, Maryland office. At this time, they were looking to have some new portraits of some high-performing employees for an upcoming meeting. Although I had a full mobile lighting setup with me, I also brought a hair and makeup artist with me. For the most part, everyone was camera-ready when we met, but a stylist can really make the post processing much faster by smoothing skin with some touch ups.

For headshots, the first thing to remember to keep the face the focus of the image. With this in mind, I needed to work with the client request to have their offices as the background. Luckily, they had a lot of nice candidates for backgrounds when I scouted areas in their building. In the first place, I wanted to find a spot with a clean seamless background. One hallway ended in a nice wall painted a dark blue gray. Overall, it worked nicely for a clean background without any distractions.

The other place I set up the light was in front of a frosted glass conference room wall. Not only was this set specifically in their office, but balancing it with a flash still put the focus on the face. I hope Emmes found these useful, and I thank my wife for the referral!

2019 Tysons Tower

Tysons, Virginia

Last month, I had a Headshot Day event at the Tysons Tower. The idea for this day came from the Macerich and Hines team in Tysons. Above all, they wanted to have me be a part of their programming for the tenants in the building. To that end, I would offer to be setup in a conference room for the day, and anyone who is in the building could sign up for a mini session.

Prior to this day, I had only been in the Tysons Tower a couple of times. Moreover, most of those times were on the penthouse rooftop area. By comparison, this conference was on a couple of floors above the Plaza. When I first arrived, I thought about having an option of having a natural background. However, the setup would not be as flexible. For one thing, the lighting would have to be adjusted for each person. Additionally, I was unsure what the preference would be for those coming by. It would be too difficult to switch between the two. The conference room had plenty of space for my background, and lighting. With this in mind, I thought it would be easier to just use the seamless white background. If someone wanted a different background, that could be done afterwards.

Silverline Center

Earlier this month, I covered the 2019 Candidate Forum for the Tysons Partnership. Above all, I am thankful to be working with them again in 2019! Similarly to other events, I was in unfamiliar territory. On this occasion, the venue was the Silverline Center in Tysons. The modern, colorfully lit exterior brings lot of attention to this building in the evening. Inside is a modern clean design throughout the space making it a nice venue in this case.

This is an election year for the Providence District Supervisor. In light of their impact that they will have in the Tysons area, the Partnership had this event to talk to some major stakeholders in the area. As far as photos go, this was a challenging room for positioning. Lighting was excellent as a conference venue. However, a large pylon in the middle of the room made a straight, wide angle perspective impossible. So, all the panoramic views were from a side. Other than that, it was a smooth shoot for me, and I hope the Partnership and the candidates find the images useful!
