PIKETOBERFEST @ PIKE & ROSE!

November 02, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

AN EXPERIENCE FOR NORTH BETHESDA LIKE NO OTHER.

While Piketoberfest (at this point) was some time ago, we captured some content about the event. Held at Pike & Rose of North Bethesda, the occasion was a family fun community event saturated with activities, music, food, art, crafts and fun. Let’s not forget the beer either!

Family-friendly, this event was diverse and absolutely welcoming with many people out on display. A safe space for many, this was a more than healthy mix of all peoples; Black, White and Brown. The young and trendy to the sophisticated adult to the event active elderly. People and Community is what it was all about positively reinforced by the local businesses and community-engagement organizations. Unity was at the forefront under the banner of enjoying each others company under a late Summer Sunday Sun.

*Photography was implemented independent of any request or commercial association. Pike & Rose is a part of the LIAM IAN™ local residential community. No paid partnerships, sponsoring or commercial affiliations.

LIAM IAN'S PHOTOGRAPHY @ HOME!

November 01, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

PROJECT & PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT UPDATE: PEOPLE AND IMAGES

What I do enjoy so much about being a creative is the authority and autonomy to be as authentic as one deems necessary. Thru the exploration and experience gained from delving deep, one truly can learn the most about themselves by pushing beyond the confines pressed and applied by others.

While the style of this photo shoot was truly to get to know others, the effort was also sot pick up the camera. The camera—that which almost everyone everywhere has access to nowadays—was a critical piece as not only the tool to capture artistry be used as the final piece to a larger perspective artistry.

In editing, the style and concept philosophy is to further adhere to the aesthetics of LIAM IAN as a brand and Liam Ian Black as an artist. Deep and interesting contrasts while centering on and off of the subject. Mixed the sepia tones and other deep hues, the effort is accomplish a magazine commercial look consistent with high fashion and style aesthetics. The effort is to have this project completed with edits and posted this coming 45th Week of 2025.

A managed event to network, socialize and capture others, the intention is to create an internal look-book of residents and community members by acting with unity and solidarity about the community.

We want to build out our 2025 Portfolio by taking a look at those that are near and dear to us and our communities. Proposed editing is in Black and White Cantrast to Full Color Dynamic shots.
