Washington, DC

This post is from an on-location session of Laurie Richard doing some business coaching. At this time, I met her at a modern office building in downtown Washington, DC. By the time I arrived, she had already been teaching for most of the day. When they came back from break, she started her last block for the day.

Watching professionals at work is really eye-opening and one of the privileges of being a photographer. Whenever I am assigned this kind of project, photos are my number one priority. Concurrently, I pay attention to the material presented. Not only does this keep me engaged with what is going on, but it does help in getting better photos. Authentic photos are always better as they translate better to viewers than completely set up images. When following along with the presentation, it helps you to previsualize the images you want to make and creates results that your clients are looking for!

Clarence Clottey – Studio

Fairfax, Virginia

Today’s post is from a Clarence Clottey – Studio session for his latest suits. Similarly to his last session outside his office, he modeled all the outfits that he put together. However, this time we met at my studio in Fairfax. Since it has not been that long since we had a shoot, I could really compare the two sessions. Without a doubt, I really enjoyed the control of the lighting. At this time, I used four lights to capture some nice renderings of the suits, and to make a clean white background.

When he put on the white suit, I thought this would have been troublesome against a white background. He wanted to keep the same background as the dark suits, so we gave it a try. Overall, I think these work especially with his dark skin. He does not get lost in the background with some flags used in the studio to keep the lights from flaring back into the camera. I know this sounds very camera-geeky, but I was very happy with the results!

Walking through Tysons

Last week, I photographed the 2019 Tysons Walkabout event for the Tysons Partnership. Although there were some clouds and a little rain this morning, there was still a hearty group of walkers participating. To be sure, they did not have a downpour like at the Tailgate, so we walked the whole route. Newly appointed Tysons Walking Ambassador John Foust remarked on the efforts to improve walkability in the area. Following a police escort, the group then headed out to Tysons Blvd.

It is important to realize that this was a moving target for me. Because they were constantly on the move, I had to sprint and position my cameras like a paparazzo to catch the group in front of the large buildings. To be sure this was a physically challenging shoot, but I really enjoyed seeing the walking trails that gives us access to nature in the middle of Tysons!
