We are coming up on the holidays! With Tysons Corner Center being one of my biggest clients, I am capturing many of the events that happen around this busy shopping season. Lord and Taylor sponsored a holiday fashion show in their beautiful Concourse area just inside from their outdoor Plaza. Along with some personalities from 94.7 Fresh FM, it was a full production! Who wouldn’t want to see the latest fashions on some popular media personalities around the holidays?
Models on the Runway
An appropriate long red carpet was rolled out to be the runway for the models to have an easy marker for their walks. The stylists from Lord and Taylor outfitted the models with some of the newest fashions for men, women, and kids.
For the photography setup, I wanted to make sure that both the model and clothes really popped off the screen so I needed to bring out some extra gear. In other words, I setup one large strobing flash at the end of the runway. I positioned myself at the end of the red carpet. That would give me a view of the entire runway to see the models walking and some of the crowd on the edges. Notice how the background falls into a nice blur as they walk closer. Sitting on the ground gives them a more heroic and powerful look. Confidence is always a more flattering look!
Special Guests
The show ended with appearances by some VIPs including Miss Maryland, everyone’s favorite, Santa! He joined Jen Richer as the final runway walker to a lot of fanfare and cheers from the crowd. I was happy with the resulting images. The look from the strobes really helps to bring out the true colors of the clothing. Hopefully the images help convince people to head out to Tysons Corner Center and Lord and Taylor to do some shopping this season!
