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.

NAMI 2017 Annual Walk

Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the NAMI 2017 Annual Walk held on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, they held the 9th edition of this annual event for NAMI – the National Alliance on Mental Illness. While this was not the first race I have photographed at this venue, there were many participants on this walk!

Prior to the start of the race, the organizers made some comments about the goals of the walk and the donations that were raised. Hearing the stories from some of the participants was encouraging as they described their experiences with mental illness. In brief, some were family members that made use of the resources of NAMI. The provide education and vital support to those that work with adults that have a mental health condition.

From a photography perspective, the branding of the mall from the Plaza is prominent and easy to incorporate into the images. Additionally the clear Saturday morning gave a feel of energy and positivity which matched the goals of the walk. Also the large crowd right at the start of the walk illustrated the support and community built around NAMI and its event.

Plaza – Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the ArmorUp Zumba for Life Zumbathon at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion the weather was perfect for working out on the Plaza. In case you are not familiar, ArmorUp for Life was founded by Loriana Hernandez. Her story is inspiring, and will undoubtedly get you thinking about your health.

Loriana is a leukemia survivor. Prior to her diagnosis, she was a health and fitness reporter. With this in mind, her doctors credit her fitness with part of the reason for her successful recovery. Indeed, I have seen family members that endured cancer treatments. Without a doubt having strength and a good fitness level is imperative. So this afternoon, the attendees danced, jumped, and soaked up the sun!
