In this post, I am showing some of my favorites from a Clarence Clottey – Boro shoot in Tysons, Virginia. Since I last met with Clarence, he continues to grow his business in this neighborhood with a lot of development. Although the inside of his office building is modern, and minimal in its decor, adjacent is a beautiful mural next to the Tysons Biergarten. In this case, the color and design makes a nice setting for Clarence’s fashions.

Even though he is the designer, Clarence is really an excellent model! He does spend a lot of time working with his patterns and clothing. When we get together, I always get an update on his travels. For the most part, he is going to Europe to source fabrics, and shops to create his shirts, and suits. On this occasion, we made some portraits of him around the ground floor of his office building. The balcony with the some nice open shade provided that nice even lighting for his clothing. Concurrently, there was this very unique chair that really needed at least a couple of images. Surely these will work for his active Instagram account!

2017 Aeren Waters Fashion

Last year, we collaborated for a 2017 Aeren Waters Fashion shoot for accessory bags. Unlike most fashion designers, Nerea has an untraditional background. For one thing, she is a scientist for her day job! Similarly, her model friends that helped out with this shoot also work in the sciences. With this in mind, I was sure to stay on my toes since I wanted to be efficient with their time.

At this time, Nerea wanted to have nice strong natural light for these photos. Along with the strong colors of her materials, we brought in some nice complimentary colors with the car, building walls, and foliage. Given that this close to the middle of the day, it would have been difficult to use a flash even for balancing the exposure.

After all the ‘real’ photos were done, we took some time keep up some images on social media. As can be seen we had a really great time on this shoot, and I was so happy with the photos. I look forward to the next one!

Aeren Waters at Qui Piece

Baltimore, Maryland

Earlier this month, I photographed Aeren Waters at Qui Piece in Baltimore. This shoot marked another progression in Nerea’s fashion career! Previously I have made images of some of her designs. Colorful purses, bags, and accessories are the main products in her line so far. Being that she was also a colleague from the lab branching out into an art business, I am very supportive of her efforts!

On this occasion, she wanted to get some images in front of the Qui Piece store front. Not only will this location now have some of her pieces for sale, but Nerea also teaches some sewing classes here. It was heartening to see her giving back by teaching others to further their skills in fashion!

Although we met in the early afternoon, I still found some good areas for photos. Given that it was overcast for the day, we had some nice even light on her face. I only popped a little fill flash balanced with ambient for a little lift. Best of luck with Nerea for the new store front!
