Dunn Loring Fire Station 13

Last month, I photographed another event for the Tysons Partnership. On this occasion, they gathered all the shoe donations for their 2017 Shoes4Kids lunch at the Dunn Loring fire station. Since this was my first time at this fire station, I was surprised at the venue! As can be seen in the photos, we were right in the middle of their fire engine garage. It was an impressive space with enormous garage doors to accommodate their vehicles. For photos, this was a perfect setup!

If you have to photograph an event indoors, the large open doors provided all the lighting I needed. In short, this created an open shade lighting scenario. With the dark ceiling overhead, the large openings let strong but diffuse light bounce around the space. Faces, objects, and anything else inside is nicely rendered without much effort! Hopefully all of my future Tysons Partnership events will be as easy to cover.

Barns of Wolf Trap

Lessons Learned was the newest TEDxTysons salon event. Prior to the night of the event, I visited the space with other volunteers. Since I had never been to the Barns of Wolf Trap before, this was a good move. As a venue, this was a particularly appropriate site for their talks. Not only do they have a fully-equipped stage, but they have a food and reception area just outside the auditorium.

Speakers – Lessons Learned – TEDxTysons

When the show started, it was immediately apparent that this was stage ready for productions. Stage lighting and perfect acoustics elevated the TEDx experience for the audience. In contrast to the other venues that were in corporate locations, this felt like a production in a cinema. The presenters talked about learning from mistakes, overcoming failures, and enduring loss. In general, the speakers really engaged through authentic stories, inspiring outcomes, and a little humor! Check the TEDxTysons site for the videos that will be released soon.

Tysons Chamber

Last month, I photographed the Tysons Chamber 2017 Breakfast Near Tiffanys event. On this occasion the Woman’s Leadership Committee held this networking meeting at Chef Geoff’s in Tysons. Being that it is next to the Tiffany’s location, the title was perfect!

Although this is a new event from other’s that the Chamber produces, it had a nice friendly feeling. The room was packed, so I tried to work as quiet as I could all things considered. Due to the full tables, and scant room to move, I did not stay there for the speakers. Besides being a distraction, I did not want my shutter to take away from the presentation.

In addition to the business presentations, breakfast, and networking, this was about shopping! Chef Geoff’s is located adjacent to the beautiful Tiffany’s jewelry store. Many of the attendees took advantage of their early opening to continue the event there.
