Recently I photographed an Open Mic Night event for TEDxTysons. In similar fashion to popular talent shows on TV, potential speakers are pulled out of the audience. Even though they would not be giving a full talk, they would give a preview for judges and the audience to review. There was an initial call for applications so there was some culling before the event. 25 speakers then had their chance in front of the audience to pitch their talk.

Open Mic Night TEDxTysons – Speakers

At stake during this event was an opportunity to give a full talk at the upcoming main event this fall! Not only were they competing against each other, but there was an encouraging spirit in the crowd. Even with all the culling, there was still just a small chance of having the main stage this fall. Contestants were encouraging and supportive throughout the night. For sure, even if they were not picked this time, there are future TEDx speakers that gave their first looks tonight!

Tysons, VA

Late last year, I photographed at the corporate headquarters for Favor TechConsulting in Tysons. In this case the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority wanted to get some images of an office space in the County with employees at work. Since this was a real office with other working nearby, there were some challenges in doing this shoot. While I usually like to keep things light and loose while working, I did not want to disturb others that were in the middle of their work day.

During this shoot, the employees of FTC that volunteered to be a part of the shoot were enthusiastic models! Surely being on their home turf helped them to be relaxed as we moved from room to room at their headquarters. Additionally they were patient as I scanned each room, set up the lighting, and set up each image. Hopefully the FCEDA marketing team will find a good use for these new images! I thank them for their assistance to ensure we made the best images that they needed.

2018 Holiday Exteriors

Tysons Corner Center

After all of the activities of Christmas, I wanted to get some 2018 Holiday photos at Tysons Corner Center at blue hour. When I go through the photos in my portfolio, I do not shoot at this time very often. Wheras my shoots are usually inside during this time, I am not usually outside with an opportunity to get photos. It is with this in mind that I went out specifically during twilight to make these photos. Although the marketing team did not have any shoots for me, I still thought this was the best setting to test shoot. It was after Christmas, but the 2018 Holiday decorations were still up on the Plaza.

Lensball

In addition to going out at an unusual time of day, I also tested a new piece of kit that I received as a gift! My in-laws gave me a Lensball which produced a fisheye effect when you point your camera lens through this middle. With the lights still on the tree on the Plaza, I brought out the ultra-clear ball for some unique photos. Happy holidays!
