Tysons Corner Center

It is just about time for a 2017 Christmas in July post! It has been a couple of years since I made such a strange article on the blog. Given that I photograph in and around Tysons Corner Center so frequently throughout the year, I do not have to waste too much time pre-planning for photos.

Seeing that I am an introverted soul like many photographers, this kind of assignment I relish. Primarily, the branding of sponsors on the ice rink, the Hyatt balcony, and the other holiday advertising was the focus. However, this evening was particularly lucky in terms of twilight.

2017 Christmas in July

During another exterior photo session, I really lucked out with the clouds. In the hope of getting some nice sunset light on the buildings, I headed out in the late afternoon. On this occasion, my patience was rewarded as the light during sunset was spectacular! I could not have asked for a more perfect combination of clouds and color. I think these images will be useful for so many uses around the Tysons area.

Iviva – Tysons Corner Center

Plaza – Tysons, VA

Earlier this month, I photographed an Iviva event at Tysons Corner Center. This brand is a subsidiary of Lululemon that produces yoga clothing. At this time, a large group of young ladies came to participate. Compared to most events out on the Plaza, this was the most peaceful, calming activity I have covered there. Unlike other events, the attendees were experienced with the movements.

Specifically thinking about the photos, I was drawn to the pattern of all the yoga mats. Since they had a similar color palette, they made a nice repeating element against the swirls of the Plaza floor. Going higher was therefore the best way to capture these. Additionally, having a single person on each mat emphasized the forms.

Afterwards, I made a lot of group photos. The Iviva team had giveaways to go along with the programming for the event. As can be seen they were willing to get some nice photos with their branding along the mall signs!

Tysons Tower Club

Last week, I photographed the 2017 Legislative Breakfast produced by the Tysons Chamber at the Tower Club. Since the Virginia legislative session has ended, the panel and speakers gave updates on the bills and budgets passed. Especially for this crowd, the ones that impacted businesses in Fairfax and Tysons were the focus.

Since I was not very familiar with how these sessions worked, I appreciated the overview. Not only did they tell of some of their plans for the future, the panelists encouraged participation. On this occasion there was time to get in front of VIPs in attendance. Dr. Gerry Gordon from the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority was the moderator for the event. Supervisor John Foust, State Senator Janet Howell, Congressman Gerry Connolly, and State Delegate Mark Keam spoke on a panel. Undoubtedly this kind of representation is important for the Chamber. Having this caliber of speakers as a result allows business owners in Tysons some access to our most powerful policy makers.
