McLean Hilton, Tysons, VA

This week I covered ‘Key Trends and Transformation Projects in Tysons’ at the McLean Hilton. In light of their overarching presence in the area, I was excited for the opportunity to work with them. This event had a distinguished panel of speakers. For this reason, the event was well attended, and the ballroom packed for the presentations.

The Hilton McLean is of course a familiar venue for me to photograph. Similarly, I was familiar with many faces that attended the meeting. It was helpful since I was anxious to be photographing for a new client. While everyone was there to network and meet stakeholders in Tysons, this was a very friendly crowd.

Thanks to Meghan Trossen, Director of Programs and Partnerships, who hired me for this assignment! Although she had a lot of responsibilities during the event, she was especially helpful to make sure I had what I needed. We met at a TEDxTysons barbecue, and I suppose she liked my work for their events. Hopefully, we can work on even more projects in the future. The Tysons Partnership is making Tysons into the next great city, and I want to photograph the changes!

Capital One – Tysons, VA

TEDxTysons held their newest main event at the Capital One Headquarters. impact – TEDxTysons was a full Saturday of speakers, networking, and ideas worth spreading. As can be seen in the photos, the headquarters in Capital One was a beautiful, forward-looking venue for TEDx talks. In light of a large tower being built right outside the auditorium, this space was a showcase of possibility.

The atrium heading into the auditorium was a beautifully lit space. Very large open skylights and windows allows daylight to spill into the space. For photos in front of the step and repeat, this was an easy assignment given that the light was bouncing around everywhere!

The speakers gave talks about individuals creating impact. Thus, the impact title becomes [i]mpact. Talks attempt to explain where does this impact come from, and how does it grow? To illustrate this is one of the talks, I contributed one of my photos from above Tysons. Undoubtedly, I was blown away about seeing my photo up there. Moreover seeing it in conjunction with a TEDx talk has been a highlight of my photography career so far. Thanks to TEDxTysons for the opportunity to be a part!

Producing Creativity in the Moment – TEDxTysons

Valo Park – Tysons, VA

The TEDxTysons group held a salon event at Valo Park in Tysons. Producing Creativity in the Moment was the title of the salon. In contrast to their main event from last year, this had a smaller audience by design. Also, there were fewer presentations. However, the talks were still impactful and very-well polished. The team really crafted another kind of event to build on their main event from last year.

Given that the organizers do not want the content of talks to be known before the event, no one comes in with pre-formed ideas. In fact, it is one of the attractions of attending in person. On this occasion, I was excited about what was going to happen. As a photographer, I come to every shoot not knowing exactly what kind of images I am going to make. Although I have a basic technical knowledge to work my cameras, it is impossible to pre-visualize everything that I need to produce. ‘Producing Creativity in the Moment’ sounded right up my alley.

If you were in the room, the interactivity in the last presentation really brought this idea home. The presentation by Chris Ulrich ended with an exercise. The noise and energy created in that moment was so spontaneous and sweeping that you could not have expected that outcome when you arrived! I hope the photos do it justice. TEDxTysons shared the entire set on their page.
