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!

Virid – Office Shoot

Reston, Virginia

Last year, I did a Virid Office Shoot in Reston, Virginia. The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority wanted some updated images of real office spaces. In this case, their top floor office space was an open and contemporary setting for the modern workplace.

Whereas their office entrance is a clean, cement-floored minimalist space, their work area is much more warm. Although it is an open area with no walls between workstations, everyone customized their area with personal decorations. From a photography standpoint, this a nice contrast with their entrance areas. At this time, I used some off camera flashes to bring the faces out from the background. Using this technique also allowed the balance of the monitor light to equal the window light so nothing was overexposed.

Finally, I want to thank the employees from Virid that volunteered for the shoot. Having a photographer around for part of the day had to be distracting, but they had some fun with the shoot. Also, thanks to the FCEDA for assisting in the coordination for the shoot and guiding the setups. I look forward to the next one!

2018 Emmes Headshots

2018 Emmes Headshots

Rockville, Maryland

Last year, I updated some portraits at a 2018 Emmes Headshots session at their Rockville, Maryland office. At this time, they were looking to have some new portraits of some high-performing employees for an upcoming meeting. Although I had a full mobile lighting setup with me, I also brought a hair and makeup artist with me. For the most part, everyone was camera-ready when we met, but a stylist can really make the post processing much faster by smoothing skin with some touch ups.

For headshots, the first thing to remember to keep the face the focus of the image. With this in mind, I needed to work with the client request to have their offices as the background. Luckily, they had a lot of nice candidates for backgrounds when I scouted areas in their building. In the first place, I wanted to find a spot with a clean seamless background. One hallway ended in a nice wall painted a dark blue gray. Overall, it worked nicely for a clean background without any distractions.

The other place I set up the light was in front of a frosted glass conference room wall. Not only was this set specifically in their office, but balancing it with a flash still put the focus on the face. I hope Emmes found these useful, and I thank my wife for the referral!
