The Plaza

Last week, I photographed the 2017 First Responders Day on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to the event last year, many of the same departments attended the event. At this time, there was a nice retro police cruiser from the Fairfax County Police. It was undoubtedly the most popular backdrop for requested photos! From the large police lights on top of the car to the nostalgic model car, I had plenty of opportunities there.

On the garage top next to the Plaza, the Fairfax 1 helicopter planned to land so kids could get up close to the vehicle and the crew. Prior to its arrival, the security team at Tysons let me know a few minutes before it arrived, so I headed up to get in place. In testing my settings before the helicopter arrived, I made some awesome movie-like portraits of the security in place:

Charles Tyrwhitt Grand Opening

Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month, I photographed the Charles Tyrwhitt grand opening at Tysons Corner Center. At this time, a group of executive managers from the UK attended the opening at the start of the shopping day. Following my arrival to the store, I acquainted myself with their setup so I could capture some good images of their initial setup. Being that they are new to brick-and-mortar stores in the USA, I knew these would be important for them. Likewise, this would be a welcome addition to the lineup of stores in Tysons.

On this occasion, I aimed to get very straight-lined photos of the displays. In researching their catalogs they have a very clean look in their layouts. Moreover, this entire store was diligently set up for their first day. The entire team worked to ensure that everything was in place making my job so much easier!

2017 Christmas in July

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.

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.
