In the past, students waited in long lines to take generic, bland photos, with each

photo showing very little character. After advancements and growth in the Phtography

field, students can now be more creative and highlight their personality. For events like prom, homecoming and senior photos, students get to customize every photo, regarding where, when and the central focus of each individual photo.

As homecoming passed, many different photos with varying locations were featured

on Instagram. Students have full control of when, where and how they want their pictures. Here are some places to use for the upcoming events.

colored places to take pictures. In addition to the current train station at this historical

site, there is an old railroad car that can be used in photos.

Davis 26’ said.

The Workhouse Art Center is an old workhouse in Lorton, that has been transformed

and makes for a captivating background to any photodynamic. This location has rows of brick arches that make for an inviting background.

“I would recommend to other because it is near good restaurants, and it is very well kept and very pretty,” Senior Charlie Roderick said. She said how it had a lot of good landscaping that made for good pictures

Occoquan is a town on the Occoquan River. It has been growing in popularity,

especially for pictures. The town has a dock that leads down to the river, creating a beautiful place for waterside pictures. It also has Victorian style architectural buildings that could be used for backgrounds.

“I really liked it, the river was beautiful, and the lighting was perfect.” Mazee Zajac 26’ said.

The Gaylord and Clifton

Some other places to consider pictures at for these events could be the Gaylord in

the National Harbor. This hotel has a lot of greenery and large windows reaching to the ceiling. Outside this hotel there is an overlook of the harbor with a dock that could be utilized in photos.

Another location is Clifton. It is a town that has many places and backgrounds for

any photos you had in mind. It features a greenery centered archway and many unique buildings. Since students have been given this freedom to fully express themselves in these photos, any place chosen to take pictures can be modified to be unique.
