Tysons Corner Center

Last week, I covered the opening of the Change It Up Pop Up at Tysons Corner Center. Presented by the Hair Cuttery, this was a color-overload activation at the mall! Since the pop up is only open until September 3, there was a packed house with pre-registered guests that were there on opening night. Hair Cuttery founder Dennis Ratner was in attendance on this occasion before they bring this to other locations around the country. Because the Rattner Companies is based in Tysons, and the first location for the salon was in nearby Springfield, it makes sense this was their first stop. As can be seen in the photos, this was the most colorful pop up I have photographed at the mall! Instagrammers should take advantage while it is still open.

Tysons Corner Center

Over the last couple of months, I completed a number of shoots to capture 2018 2nd Quarter Media at Tysons Corner Center. Surely the mall changes as time goes by both in stores and in advertising. But I never really noticed as closely until now. With all the changes, the Macerich marketing team wanted me to get photos of the special events and temporary retail spaces along with the changes in media.

From a photography standpoint, these kinds of assignments slow me down. Generally in a good way! Of course I would like to have people in the frame so that the clients see a good number of eyes on their media. Additionally, I usually shoot these on a tripod. This keeps the lines straight, and can slow the shutter speed down to get a blur as people walk through the frame.

Monica and Andy

Last month, I photographed a 2018 Mother’s Day event for a new client. The marketing team at Tysons Corner Center referred me to the Monica and Andy location. On this occasion, they wanted to have a photographer set up in their store. Prior to the event, they advertised that you could come and have your photos done with your baby for free!

At this point, I needed to work not only on my portrait skills, but my baby-interaction skills! Being that I do not have much experience with children, this was a stretch for me. While I did some research a few days beforehand, the experience was much more fun than I was expecting! Maybe I was just lucky with the kids that came by, but it was a breeze, and I enjoyed the results. Happy Mother’s Day!

Bloomingdale’s Rug Event

Additionally, I stopped by the rug event happening in a large space in the mall that could accommodate these large pieces. On the whole this was a calming store to photograph. As a matter of fact, rugs are often used for dampening bouncing sound waves in music studios.
