TEDxTysons – Future Tense

Valo Park, Tysons, VA

TEDxTysons – Future Tense is the first event by this new organization! it was a privilege to be the first photographer to cover this event which hopes to be a regular occurrence. This assignment was another connection that was made through Tysons Corner Center. Since I photograph many events there, they referred me to the organizers. As they developed their website, I volunteered to make new photos of the Tysons area for them.

Speaker Dinner

It must be remembered that all the organizers and workers for this event are volunteers. Sponsors of the event contribute meals, apparel, the venue, etc. In the lead up to the main event there were some final details that I covered in photos. Volunteers gathered for a walk-through of the venue for the purpose of learning the details to help guests navigate.

Tysons, Virginia

Last month, the 2016 June Concerts on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center started again! The Macerich team had me cover these to illustrate the community that they are building there. Luckily the nice weather, and the awesome musicians brought out the crowds!

The Legwarmers

Local 80’s cover band, the Legwarmers was the first concert that I photographed. Since they are local, and put on a phenomenal stage show, the Plaza was packed! The familiar songs, and their musicianship was so much fun to capture. Jen Richer from 94.7 Fresh FM was there to introduce the band, and join in the 80’s musical celebration.

Rachel Platten

Undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of the 2016 June Concerts series was Rachel Platten. On this occasion, she had a couple of hits playing on the radio. Moreover, she was scheduled to sing the National Anthem at the MLB All Star game the following weekend! Having such an enthusiastic crowd makes it easy to get dynamic crowd photos.

Speed of Life – Model Shoot

Ashburn, Virginia

In January, I photographed a project with Kyle McKay from MXK Productions. Mehr and Kyle had a styled shoot based around the song, Speed of Life by David Bowie. In light of his recent death, the shoot was styled with inspiration from his song. Being that I was not available to go to the studio with the production, I did a behind-the-scenes look at them getting ready. However, I was able to setup a small headshot lighting setup to get a quick preview for what was to come later.

Mehr Bano was the primary make up artist that worked on the production. Since there were so many models that had to be done before leaving for the studio, there was a tight schedule to finish. In that case, I photographed as much of the action as it happened. The hair styling, makeup, henna, clothing – there was a lot going on in particular after the basics were done.

Small Headshot Lighting Studio

Whenever a model was ready for the camera, I brought them to a mobile lighting setup that I brought with me. With the limited space, it was one light only. With a black background, I love how these turned out. This shoot was produced in the hope that they would be published. Best of luck to everyone that helped to make it happen!
