T-Mobile Leadership Institute in Washington, DC

By Taylor Mickal September 2026 Days 1 & 2

I was back with T-Mobile in Washington, DC to photograph two days of their Leadership Institute. Here are a few selects from the speakers, discussions, and activities throughout the program.

Two days with T-Mobile

The coverage included speakers, panel discussions, conversations around the tables, and group photographs. I also photographed the smaller details: attendees reading the leadership material, working through activities, and connecting between sessions.

Keeping T-Mobile in the frame

I always keep branding in mind when I’m photographing corporate events, and T-Mobile made that particularly easy. Between the projected logo, magenta lighting, and materials on the tables, there were plenty of ways to show whose event it was while keeping the people at the center of the photographs.

A community project with United Way

Day 2 also included a community project with United Way of the National Capital Area. I photographed participants assembling bags and making handwritten encouragement cards.
