Cornell Fashion Collective Fashion Show 2016

For the 10th year in a row, I photographed Cornell University’s annual fashion show. According to the Cornell Fashion Collective’s website:

The Cornell Fashion Collective, formerly the Cornell Design League, is a student-run organization that provides members of the Cornell community with an outlet to express creativity in fashion and fashion management. Each spring, our organization presents a professional runway show featuring the talent of students who both design apparel and manage the operations of the show. Our organization gives students, both undergraduate and graduate, the opportunity to practice design, demonstrate their talents, and learn how to produce a large-scale fashion event.

As I have mentioned in the past, although I enjoy photographing the show itself (you can see those photos), I especially enjoy capturing candid photos of the designers and models getting ready for the show backstage before the actual show.

Here’s a collection of the backstage photos I captured this year (2016)…

For the past 6 or 7 years, I’ve been photographing the fashion show at Cornell University. It’s always in the Spring and it’s always a good warm-up for the busy late Spring and Summer photography seasons.

This year, I did some photography both back stage and also photographed the entire show itself.

In this post, I’ll be featuring some of those back stage photos–which I truly enjoy taking; they’re totally candid/unstaged and give one a view of the event that you don’t normally see as a fashion show audience member. (I mixed in just a couple show photos for good measure.)

I’ll be adding to the gallery over the next few weeks, but here’s a start!

Cazenovia College celebrated 40 years of fashion shows today and I was there to take photographs.

I will be editing photos over the next few days. I’ll be adding to them to the gallery below.

Cazenovia College Fashion Show 2012

I had been photographing the annual fashion show at Cornell University for several years and thought it would be interesting to photograph another college fashion show to see how they compared and differed. I discovered that Cazenovia College (about an hour from my home) also had an annual fashion show and indicated my interest in coming and photographing the show.

Well, it turned out their fashion show was the very same day as Cornell’s fashion show; so I had to decline.

That was last year.

This year (2012), Cazenovia’s show was scheduled for the weekend before Cornell’s. So I got to do both!

For the Cornell show, I’ve been focusing more on what happens behind the scenes (back stage), while I have an associate photographer photograph the runway show.

Since Cazenovia was going to have two sessions of the show (one in the afternoon, one in the evening), I decided I would photograph the afternoon show and then photograph the behind-the-scenes activities leading up to the evening show.

Photographing the afternoon runway show went well. But when I went back stage to photograph behind-the-scenes, I discovered that the designers and models were spread out into several different small rooms connected by narrow hallways.

Not only was it difficult to travel between rooms without bumping into designers and models, but my presence was *really* obvious in any of the individual small rooms, making candid photography nearly impossible.

At the Cornell fashion show, all the designers and models are in one huge room…making it quite easy to walk around and grab candids wherever you see something interesting going on.

Needless to say, I didn’t do much behind-the-scenes photography at Cazenovia (I left early) but I did grab a few shots. And the runway show itself featured some pretty eye-catching attire!

Some of my favorite photos from both the runway show and back stage are featured below…:-).

Well, it’s become an annual ritual for me to photograph the annual fashion show at the local university. I used to take photos back stage until the actual show started; then I would move out front and take runway photos during the show.

For the past two years, I’ve been working with other photographers who photograph the show while I stay back stage during the show.

Fashion show runway photos can be quite amazing at these shows, but I find the back stage photos are more creatively interesting for me.

In any case, I’m going to post some of my 2012 back stage photos here. I’ll upload more over the next few days…:-).
