Malmaison – Washington, DC

Earlier in the year, I was contacted by Andrew Roby Events to do a bridal shoot in DC. On this occasion we met at Malmaison near Georgetown. Given that I have photographed a couple of events for Andrew previously, I was excited about this event!

Andrew shows through these photos what an excellent event planner can do. For this reason, he setup an entire wedding reception table complete with linens, tableware, decorations, and dessert! Not only was the room setup, but he had two models to stand in as bride and groom!

In effect, he prepared an entire wedding reception at Malmaison in DC for this shoot. While this shows what he can do from a design standpoint, it also shows the capabilities of his team. Given that this was a completely empty restaurant room, he produced a beautiful space for a reception. In the event that you would are planning a wedding or corporate event in the area, Andrew and his team should be the first call you should make!

Nam Nguyen Hair and Makeup

Studio Shoot

Having talented friends is a blessing! This shoot was for Nam Nguyen, hair and makeup artist in northern Virginia. Previously, I knew Nam for his fashion expertise. He worked for a client of mine as the inventory manager and stylist for a ballroom dress company. While I was there for photo shoots, I was impressed with his talent. Not only did he excel in styling dresses for imaging on the website, but he was great with customers. Being that dancers will be performing in front of large crowds, they want to look their best. If Nam approved of your look, you would be ready for the judges!

On this occasion, Nam had some ideas for a stylized shoot. Since his days at the dress company, he studied hair styling. When I heard that was his plan, I knew he would be successful. Together with his overall fashion aesthetic, I knew he would be a sought-after stylist. We collaborated on a few photo shoots over the years, and I enjoyed having these images in my portfolio.

These models offered to help him create marketing materials for his hair and makeup services. Of course the hair would be done nicely for the camera. Then, the makeup would color match extra props that would be added to the hair. In particular, blue makeup with grapes, yellow-orange makeup with yellow birds, and red makeup with hydrangea flowers.

For this purpose, I setup a plain white backdrop. Along with the Eyelighter to make the eyes pop, a large softbox created a soft light on their faces. The lighting worked with this setup for all three of the models. Given that the photos were sent right to a large TV for review, we hit the goals of what Nam was looking for! I wish him the best of luck with his growing business!

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!

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!
