Industrious – Arlington, VA

Earlier this month, I reunited with TEDxTysons at a volunteer dinner to plan for another year! Given that they have had 3 years of events with good audience feedback, they will make more in 2019. In addition to finding enthusiastic volunteers and engaging speakers the TEDxTysons team has a talent for finding partners. Of course they have a TED brand to lean on, but they have a way of infecting their partners with their enthusiasm to reach the same goals.

When another TEDx event comes on my schedule, I look back on the previous photos on the blog. Without a doubt, getting involved with them has opened so many doors for me and my photography. Contact tracing the people they have connected me to has already spidered to places I could not have envisioned. Even more, the topics and speakers that I have been able to photograph has expanded my view of what and who is out there. These planning meetings really show the starting block of their efforts. Knowing their track record, I would get tickets for their next events as soon as they are available!

Fairfax, Virginia

In this post, I am highlighting some sessions I did for Fairfax Location Headshots. For both of these, I wanted to get some excellent results on account of them being business associates. Jhosua is the owner of Mix It Studios, a recording studio with a lot of technology and lighting already setup. To be sure I wanted to spend all the time asking him about all of the toys in his studio and what they do! But I did hold back enough to get some new headshots for Josh to use on his website.

Kam is another good friend and business contact from networking in northern Virginia. At this time, she was opening her new State Farm office in Fairfax Station. Since her office was not quite open, she requested a seamless background for her headshot. Knowing her long career in banking, I know she will do well in her transition to insurance. I hope both enjoy their new marketing portraits!

2019 Lunar New Year

Tysons Corner Center

Last week I photographed the 2019 Lunar New Year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. Given that they had such a large crowd in Fashion Court last year, they held the event in the same space. While there was plenty of room to see the action on two different floors of the mall, there was still a crowd of people wanting to get a view.

At this time there were some talented dancers that performed some challenging cultural dancers for the crowd. From a photography standpoint, the streaking cloths, and the dancing dragons were the most dynamic for me. However, there was also a demonstration of martial arts during the show. Certainly they also have some dynamic movements, but I am not as familiar with them. Having an idea of what movement is coming up is important for getting the best images. With this in mind, I definitely need more practicing watching them if I want to improve!
