This post combines some of my favorites from the 2019 2nd Quarter Media at Tysons Corner Center. Since they have so many open spaces that are designed for showcases, there was a nice diversity over this year for their use. Although you do not think of a field of flowers in the middle of Tysons, the Field of Tulips pop up produced the experience. While it was there, this pop up had flowering tulips with replantable bulbs installed in Fashion Court. Additionally, more tulips were placed through other locations in the mall to bring a bit of Spring throughout.

On the Plaza, the Virginia Tourism LOVE letters were placed for a short time. Similarly to the Hollywood sign, the installation had layers of meanings. Some thought of it has a suggestion, some saw the state tourism motto, and some said it expressed their feelings for the community. It was a nice setting for the warming weather!

2019 Lunar New Year

Tysons Corner Center

Last week I photographed the 2019 Lunar New Year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. Given that they had such a large crowd in Fashion Court last year, they held the event in the same space. While there was plenty of room to see the action on two different floors of the mall, there was still a crowd of people wanting to get a view.

At this time there were some talented dancers that performed some challenging cultural dancers for the crowd. From a photography standpoint, the streaking cloths, and the dancing dragons were the most dynamic for me. However, there was also a demonstration of martial arts during the show. Certainly they also have some dynamic movements, but I am not as familiar with them. Having an idea of what movement is coming up is important for getting the best images. With this in mind, I definitely need more practicing watching them if I want to improve!

2018 2nd Half Media

This post highlights some images from the 2018 2nd Half Media shoots at Tysons Corner Center. Since this covered a time with a lot of temperature changes, there were changes both outside and inside the mall. Specifically the following photos are from a large tent constructed in the parking lot outside Bloomindale’s. Compared to the interior of the mall, the very tall tent competes with the retail space size with such a large footprint! Although I am not a fan of heights, the staff at the tent let me go up their largest ladder to get some photos. It was worth the shaky knees!

Inside the mall, they had many new sets of banner advertising. As far as printing and graphic design go, this Blue Moon ad was particularly impactful. Perhaps it is the combination of the yellow and blue colors, but this really rendered well in the camera. I really enjoy slowing down, setting the tripod, and creating these purposefully lined-up images.
