Earlier this month, I photographed Aeren Waters at Qui Piece in Baltimore. This shoot marked another progression in Nerea’s fashion career! Previously I have made images of some of her designs. Colorful purses, bags, and accessories are the main products in her line so far. Being that she was also a colleague from the lab branching out into an art business, I am very supportive of her efforts!

On this occasion, she wanted to get some images in front of the Qui Piece store front. Not only will this location now have some of her pieces for sale, but Nerea also teaches some sewing classes here. It was heartening to see her giving back by teaching others to further their skills in fashion!

Although we met in the early afternoon, I still found some good areas for photos. Given that it was overcast for the day, we had some nice even light on her face. I only popped a little fill flash balanced with ambient for a little lift. Best of luck with Nerea for the new store front!

2016 Plaza Summer Events

Tysons Corner Center

Compared to some of the larger event, there were smaller 2016 Plaza summer events that I photographed. In addition to the Summer Concert Series, there were other weekend days that the Plaza was filled with crowds. Certainly these are also important to show the community building that the Macerich team is doing.

Cuatro De Mayo

The Tysons Fit Club took their meeting outside for one of their workouts. Being close to May 5, they brought in La Sandia to bring out food and drinks for after the workout was completed. In addition, they had a mariachi band to fill the Plaza with music setting the mood for the occasion!

VietFest

A cultural festival celebrating Vietnam and their many residents in the area took over the Plaza. Food, fashions, and shows were some of the highlights of their annual event!

Columbia Arthur Murray Silhouettes

Columbia, Maryland

To say that this was one of my favorite photo shoots is somehow an understatement! Leisa Howard, owner of the Columbia, MD studio had this idea for updating the images in the studio. Although I have photographed MANY dance events, this would be a very different collection of images. The goal was to make Arthur Murray Silhouettes using the staff at their studio. Since it would be easier to set this up at their location, I brought all my lighting to do the shoot there.

Compared to dance events, these photos were made under much more controlled circumstances. As a lighting setup, I had two flashes firing into a white seamless background. This is not typical for me but on this occasion, the goal was to completely separate the subjects from the lighting. With this in mind the dancers are moved far from the background lights so that they fall into darkness. In effect they become silhouettes in an extreme contrast of subject and background. Afterwards I boosted the contrast even more to be black and white. This look mirrored some retro images of Arthur Murray posters of the past which is very appropriate for their walls.
