2019 Tysons Tailgate – Tysons Partnership

Valo Park, McLean, VA

Last month, I photographed the 2019 Tysons Tailgate at Valo Park. Since it was the 4th annual edition, the Tysons Partnership team put together another well-attended and fun event! Compared to the downpour that dampened some of the spirits last year, they had amazing autumn weather for an evening outside.

2019 Tysons Tailgate

In case you have not seen my previous events for the Tysons Partnership, know that I enjoy working for them. Of course they have some of the most well-attended Tysons events. Also, their members enjoy having their photos taken, and they come to events wanting to build the next great city. Moreover the Tysons Partnership team works very well together. Although you cannot see in these photos, there were some big challenges to overcome this evening. With little time to come up with solutions, they pulled it off while not letting it show on their faces. It only makes me want to work harder to show off their efforts with awesome photos!

Urbanspace, Tysons Galleria

Last week I photographed a Tysons Partnership charette at the Urbanspace in the Galleria. Next year, they are marking 10 years since their creation with attention to making Tysons the next great city. Although I have only been covering close to 3 years of their events, I think they do a phenomenal job at this. Especially considering the different entities that attend their events, they foster so many important conversations.

The Urbanspace at the Galleria has enormous west-facing windows. As a photo studio, this is ideal! Whenever anyone asks me for photo tips for faces, the first thing I tell them is to look for open shade. Similarly to the fire station for the Shoes4Kids lunches, this space gives the same quality of light. With the large daylight streaming in, and a tall ceiling above, you can find nice light on the face. Additionally, the interior will fall darker and make faces pop out of the frame. Easy photographing, easy editing – enjoy!

The Palm Restaurant

Earlier this month was the Volta Reception by the Tysons Partnership. Another Tysons summer brings another Cirque Du Soleil show to the area! In this case, the show is based around extreme sports. Prior to the opening of the show, this reception was held at the Palm Restaurant in Tysons. Similarly to last year’s reception, the outdoor area outside the Palm was set up for their event. Moreover it was another beautiful evening before walking out to the big top!

Once in a while, you will make mistakes in your career. With this in mind, I have to come clean about a big one that I made. Although they gave me plenty of notice of a date change, I did not make it on my calendar. Luckily, I could rearrange my schedule at the last minute. In spite of missing the first part of the reception, I was able to cover most of the important parts. I was thankful for their understanding, but I learned some important lessons! To be sure, I worked to stay on their good side. I’ll be on top of all the details next time!
