Fashion Week North East – Evolue Apparel
Head “Behind the Scenes” Photographer
Providence, RI
2016

I was the official photographer for Evolue apparel during Fashion Week North East in Rhode Island. I took all runway preparatory imagery, designer portraits, and images from behind the runway. This taught me how to compose and design on the fly. It was an exciting challenge capturing a fashion show in action, not being in control of the models, lighting, and setting, while still capturing the event in an artistic way.

Attendee
