New York Fashion Week is one of those times of year when it feels like fashion takes over the entire city.

Designers arrive with new collections. Models move between castings, fittings and shows. Hair and makeup teams transform backstage spaces. PR teams coordinate guests and press. Photographers fill the runway risers. And for a few incredibly busy days, New York City becomes one enormous celebration of fashion and creativity.

At Times Square Photo Studio, we're best known for our photography sessions in New York City, but our work extends beyond traditional studio and location photoshoots.

We also offer professional New York Fashion Week and runway photography coverage through our founder and head photographer, Anna Meshcheri.

Anna has photographed New York Fashion Week for more than five years and more than ten seasons, including working as a house photographer for a fashion brand. Her Fashion Week experience includes runway shows, backstage preparations, fittings, first looks, designers, beauty details, guests and the countless moments surrounding a fashion presentation.

If your brand is preparing for NYFW and looking for an experienced photographer to document it, this is a service we are very happy to offer.

Professional Runway Photography

A runway show may last only 10 or 15 minutes, but it can represent months of work.

Every look matters.

Professional runway coverage is about much more than getting a handful of beautiful photographs. When photographing for a designer or brand, the goal is to create consistent coverage of the collection while paying attention to the garments, movement, timing, lighting and overall presentation.

There are no second takes on a runway.

Once a model walks, that moment is gone.

Having a photographer who already understands the rhythm and demands of runway photography can make an enormous difference—especially when those photographs will later represent your collection on your website, social media, in PR, press and future marketing.

Backstage Photography

Some of the most interesting Fashion Week moments happen before anyone sees the runway.

Backstage is where everything comes together.

Hair and makeup artists are creating the final beauty looks. Stylists are making last-minute adjustments. Models are getting dressed. Accessories are being organized. Designers are checking garments. Production teams are preparing everyone for the moment the show begins.

Backstage photography allows a brand to preserve that part of the story too.

These images can be particularly valuable for social media, PR, behind-the-scenes storytelling and collaborations with beauty, hair, accessory and other Fashion Week partners.

First Looks, Beauty & Fashion Details

A finished runway look deserves more than one photograph.

Depending on the show and the coverage requested, Fashion Week photography can also include first looks before models walk, portraits, makeup and hair details, jewelry, accessories, fabrics, shoes and other elements of the collection.

These photographs give brands a much broader library of content than runway images alone.

Instead of having only photographs from one angle at the end of the runway, you can walk away from your show with a visual story that includes the collection from multiple perspectives.

Designers, Guests & the Fashion Week Atmosphere

The collection may be the center of the show, but it isn't the only part of the experience worth remembering.

Designer moments, guest arrivals, VIPs, celebrities, the venue, audience reactions and the energy surrounding the presentation can all become part of the coverage.

Depending on your priorities, these moments can be incorporated into the photography plan before the event.

This is one of the reasons we believe Fashion Week photography works best when the photographer understands what the client needs before arriving at the venue.

Photography for Fashion Week Sponsors & Partners

Fashion Week photography isn't only for designers.

Beauty companies, hair brands, accessory designers, production partners and other sponsors may also need professional photographs documenting their involvement in a show.

That might mean photographing products being used backstage, artists creating hair or makeup looks, accessories incorporated into the collection, branded activations or other elements of the collaboration.

If sponsor coverage is important, it can be discussed before the show so those photographs are intentionally incorporated into the coverage rather than left to chance.

Fast-Turnaround Fashion Week Photography

Fashion Week moves quickly, and the value of content is often connected to how quickly it can be delivered.

Brands may need photographs for social media shortly after the show. PR teams may be waiting for images. Publications may have deadlines. Sponsors may want content while the event is still being discussed.

Depending on the project, priority photographs or sneak peeks can be delivered on an accelerated schedule, followed by the remaining gallery.

Turnaround requirements should always be discussed before the event so the photography and delivery plan can be built around your team's needs.
