Earlier this month, the Peterson Companies contacted me for a Sip and Shop photography shoot at Fairfax Corner. Because I have done a number of projects for the marketing team there, I looked forward to making these images with them. We met on undeniably the hottest day of the summer so far! Despite the heat and humidity, the models assembled were troopers and did not let the conditions show on their faces.
In the light of newly passed legislation you can now carry alcohol through certain sections of the property. Following the directions on this website, it is possible to enjoy alcoholic beverages in one of the most walkable shopping centers in northern Virginia. Fairfax Corner on the positive side, is very pedestrian friendly. Being that they have many restaurants that are participating, I can see this being very popular! Especially if we have more days that are as hot as the day of this shoot. Thanks to Joanna and Crystan for reaching out and helping me make these fun photos for their advertising!
Last Saturday, I was the official photographer for the Northern Virginia Magazine Fashion NoVA show held at Fairfax Corner. At this time, there were 7 collections presented showcasing the latest Fall fashions. It was an especially beautiful day out on the main plaza where the runway was setup. Vendors had booths at the side where the large crowd at the show were treated to samples from P.F. Changs, Uncle Julio’s, two restaurants that have locations at Fairfax Corner.
The fashion show had 7 different collections present from South Moon Under, Undeniable Boutique, D’Milikah, Read Wall, Aerosole’s, Chic Envy, and Belle Mode Intimates. Prior to the show starting, I made some images as the Paul Mitchell School of Tysons Corner worked with the models. Their stylists worked the hair and makeup ready for all the models before the show. It was a lot of action, but the models were ready for the runway, and showed off the designs well! I took a position at the end of the runway. As can be seen, a runway set makes it easy to position yourself for photos as they walked. Here are some of my favorites from each:
I think these show off the designs very nicely! In order to pull off the looks, there was a lot of work put in from different players. Firstly, the designers put the outfist together. Next the hair and makeup stylists worked with the models. Finally, the organizers coordinated the logistics of the show to make this a success. Subsequently, the next show is tomorrow at Pentagon City Mall. Join us there for more!
