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!

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!

Tysons, VA

Late last year, I photographed at the corporate headquarters for Favor TechConsulting in Tysons. In this case the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority wanted to get some images of an office space in the County with employees at work. Since this was a real office with other working nearby, there were some challenges in doing this shoot. While I usually like to keep things light and loose while working, I did not want to disturb others that were in the middle of their work day.

During this shoot, the employees of FTC that volunteered to be a part of the shoot were enthusiastic models! Surely being on their home turf helped them to be relaxed as we moved from room to room at their headquarters. Additionally they were patient as I scanned each room, set up the lighting, and set up each image. Hopefully the FCEDA marketing team will find a good use for these new images! I thank them for their assistance to ensure we made the best images that they needed.
