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!

Tysons, VA

Late last year, I photographed at the corporate headquarters for Favor TechConsulting in Tysons. In this case the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority wanted to get some images of an office space in the County with employees at work. Since this was a real office with other working nearby, there were some challenges in doing this shoot. While I usually like to keep things light and loose while working, I did not want to disturb others that were in the middle of their work day.

During this shoot, the employees of FTC that volunteered to be a part of the shoot were enthusiastic models! Surely being on their home turf helped them to be relaxed as we moved from room to room at their headquarters. Additionally they were patient as I scanned each room, set up the lighting, and set up each image. Hopefully the FCEDA marketing team will find a good use for these new images! I thank them for their assistance to ensure we made the best images that they needed.

Tysons Tower Club

The Tysons Chamber held the 2019 Board Installation last week at the Tysons Tower Club. Outgoing Chair Virginia Case reflected on her time heading the organization. Even though I have been involved in the marketing of their events, it was revealing to hear about all of the changes at once. Tucker Gladhill, the new Board Chair looked to build on these going forward in 2019.

Board Headshots

In addition to covering the board installation, I also helped with an image update for the Chamber. Given that I am on the marketing committee, I would use these headshots for the website. Prior to the start of the formal presentation, I invited board members to a small set. For the most part, this was a very basic setup. I had a white background against the wall of the Tower Club. Then I set one flash through a diffused umbrella to make an easy soft light across the faces. Given that most of the board came through, this consistent look will be nice for the website!
