Back To School Fashion Show – Tysons Corner Center

Lord and Taylor

Last September, I photographed at Back to School Fashion Show produced by Lord and Taylor at Tysons Corner Center. This time the focus was on fashions for younger students that were updating their clothes for the new school year. To demonstrate the outfits, they found some younger models from different ages to walk the runway.

Back to School Fashion

Following the Cherry Blossom and Prom Fashion shows, I had a good system down to cover these. They had the same long, red carpet to designate the runway. Unlike the Concourse by the Plaza, the hallway in front of the Lord and Taylor was the setting for this show. Thus there was not as much ambient light in the space meaning I needed more flash power from the strobes.

When the show started, the young kids that modeled clothes were very professional! When it was their turn, the kids walked down the runway, did a turn, and walked back engaging the audience along the way. So many of them handled the moment beautifully, and the crowd appreciated their efforts to model as best they could.

Cherry Blossom Fashion Show – Tysons Corner Center

It is Spring in the DC area, so there was a Cherry Blossom Fashion Show at Tysons Corner Center. Lord and Taylor put their seasonal fashions on display. Similar to their previous show of prom styles that I posted before, they had a long red carpet laid out.

Since this was similar to the holiday show setup, I had a flash ready near my position facing down towards the models. Besides the earlier start, the midday sun coming into the Concourse helped to give this an outdoor, Spring-like feel to the photos. The strong backlight really needed a high power on the flash to make the clothes and faces visible.

Around the show, the cherry blossoms were recreated in balloon form. Talented balloon artists had to prepare very early to have these sets built and put into place before the show started. While the show was going on, they made balloon creations for people visiting the area. What they can make out of this inflatable building block is amazing!

After the show was over, some of the models wanted to get some extra photos. Without the pressure of the show, they were much more relaxed. In addition, some asked to have their family members get a photo too!

2015 Prom Fashion Show

Earlier this Spring, Lord and Taylor produced a 2015 Prom Fashion Show outside their storefront at Tysons Corner Center. The show was co-sponsored by Karin’s Florist in Vienna, Virginia. A pairing of fashion and flowery accessories – it really feels like prom! The first part of the shoot was against a nice dark gray background that was setup for the traditionally posed prom photos. It was a nice contrast against the colorful dresses, and corsages that the models were wearing.

The setup was simple since this was a busy area. I did not want to have a lot of gear strewn around the area since people were already starting to gather for the show. I had one large strobing flash setup through an umbrella with a piece of white diffusion on the end opposite the light. This produces a very nice quality of light that was reproducible for everyone that stepped into the set.

The focus of these photos were the flowers, and this helped to show them off nicely. After I got photos of the corsages and the models with their dresses, I moved the light to the end of the runway. From here, I made some photos as they walked down the red carpet. It was a lot of images in a short amount of time, but I was happy with the results!
