In this post, I am showing some of my favorites from a Clarence Clottey – Boro shoot in Tysons, Virginia. Since I last met with Clarence, he continues to grow his business in this neighborhood with a lot of development. Although the inside of his office building is modern, and minimal in its decor, adjacent is a beautiful mural next to the Tysons Biergarten. In this case, the color and design makes a nice setting for Clarence’s fashions.

Even though he is the designer, Clarence is really an excellent model! He does spend a lot of time working with his patterns and clothing. When we get together, I always get an update on his travels. For the most part, he is going to Europe to source fabrics, and shops to create his shirts, and suits. On this occasion, we made some portraits of him around the ground floor of his office building. The balcony with the some nice open shade provided that nice even lighting for his clothing. Concurrently, there was this very unique chair that really needed at least a couple of images. Surely these will work for his active Instagram account!

2017 Aeren Waters Fashion

Last year, we collaborated for a 2017 Aeren Waters Fashion shoot for accessory bags. Unlike most fashion designers, Nerea has an untraditional background. For one thing, she is a scientist for her day job! Similarly, her model friends that helped out with this shoot also work in the sciences. With this in mind, I was sure to stay on my toes since I wanted to be efficient with their time.

At this time, Nerea wanted to have nice strong natural light for these photos. Along with the strong colors of her materials, we brought in some nice complimentary colors with the car, building walls, and foliage. Given that this close to the middle of the day, it would have been difficult to use a flash even for balancing the exposure.

After all the ‘real’ photos were done, we took some time keep up some images on social media. As can be seen we had a really great time on this shoot, and I was so happy with the photos. I look forward to the next one!

Earlier this month, business coach Laurie Richards contacted me to do a 2018 Brand Session at The Winery at Bull Run. Previously, Laurie came to the studio for updated headshots. Afterwards, she decided that one of the images would be on the cover of her latest book! In short, I was very happy that she enjoyed the photos from her last session.

During this afternoon, we met at the winery to start making some photos around their property. In this case, the setting was beautiful for portraits. The open fields next to the Civil War era buildings made for non-distracting backgrounds that did add some interest for the portraits.

Since it was close to the winery, we made our way to the park at the Manassas Battlefield. In like fashion, the historic open fields were a beautiful backdrop for branding photos. With her blue top, it complimented all the green in the surrounding frame.
