Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month, I photographed the 2017 Prom Fashion show at Tysons Corner Center. To demonstrate the clothing styles for this Spring, the Lord and Taylor location in Tysons supplied the clothing and produced the show. As can be seen, the show was setup outside their location similar to last year’s Spring shows.

2017 Prom Fashion Show

Before the start, I set up one flash about 3/4 of the way down the runway. Seeing that this was again a long carpet for a runway, I needed the flash to go distance. Moreover being underneath an overhang from the floor above, there is not much ambient light in that part of the mall. During the show, I stayed at the end of the runway carpet firing down towards the store branding on the other end. Varying the focal length as they walked towards me allowed for some emphasis on different aspects of the outfits.

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!
