The Power of Place

Tysons Tower Club

Last month, I photographed Fairfax County: The Power of Place – an event produced by the Fairfax Couty Economic Development Authority. On this occasion, the venue was the beautiful Tower Club in Tysons. When you need to impress visitors to the area, this is the best location to put your best foot forward. To that end, the County was hosting visitors from an international convention in downtown DC. Meanwhile, speakers included representatives from businesses that have prospered in the area. Indeed, the setup of the conference room was perfect for photos. Though there was a strong light coming through the windows, they situated the speakers facing the light making good exposures easy to manage!

Clarence Clottey – Studio

Fairfax, Virginia

Today’s post is from a Clarence Clottey – Studio session for his latest suits. Similarly to his last session outside his office, he modeled all the outfits that he put together. However, this time we met at my studio in Fairfax. Since it has not been that long since we had a shoot, I could really compare the two sessions. Without a doubt, I really enjoyed the control of the lighting. At this time, I used four lights to capture some nice renderings of the suits, and to make a clean white background.

When he put on the white suit, I thought this would have been troublesome against a white background. He wanted to keep the same background as the dark suits, so we gave it a try. Overall, I think these work especially with his dark skin. He does not get lost in the background with some flags used in the studio to keep the lights from flaring back into the camera. I know this sounds very camera-geeky, but I was very happy with the results!

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!
