The Power of Place

Tysons Tower Club

Last month, I photographed Fairfax County: The Power of Place – an event produced by the Fairfax Couty Economic Development Authority. On this occasion, the venue was the beautiful Tower Club in Tysons. When you need to impress visitors to the area, this is the best location to put your best foot forward. To that end, the County was hosting visitors from an international convention in downtown DC. Meanwhile, speakers included representatives from businesses that have prospered in the area. Indeed, the setup of the conference room was perfect for photos. Though there was a strong light coming through the windows, they situated the speakers facing the light making good exposures easy to manage!

This post is from an on-location session of Laurie Richard doing some business coaching. At this time, I met her at a modern office building in downtown Washington, DC. By the time I arrived, she had already been teaching for most of the day. When they came back from break, she started her last block for the day.

Watching professionals at work is really eye-opening and one of the privileges of being a photographer. Whenever I am assigned this kind of project, photos are my number one priority. Concurrently, I pay attention to the material presented. Not only does this keep me engaged with what is going on, but it does help in getting better photos. Authentic photos are always better as they translate better to viewers than completely set up images. When following along with the presentation, it helps you to previsualize the images you want to make and creates results that your clients are looking for!

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!
