Backstage before the doors open, then a fixed position for the runway, then the room. A show lasts twelve minutes, so the positions are agreed with the producer in advance.
Runway looks in order, backstage coverage and the guest frames a press office needs.
Quoted per brief. The full list of services and published starting prices is on the services page.
Three locations that suit this kind of shoot, each with its own permission rules:
The full list is on London photoshoot locations, with the authority for each one.
Mariya's verdict. Book the location before the guests. Changing a date is easy, changing a permit is not.
A show runs for about twelve minutes and nothing repeats.
The position is agreed with the producer, because two photographers cannot share the end of the runway.
Backstage before the doors open is where the story is, and it is the part most shows forget to book.
| When | What is photographed | Why it is placed there |
|---|---|---|
| Backstage before doors | Hair, makeup, rails, details | Where the story is |
| Front of house | Guests arriving, the room | Short window |
| Runway | One fixed position, agreed with the producer | Twelve minutes, nothing repeats |
| Finale | Designer, full line-up | One chance |
| After | Guests, press, details | Quick and quiet |
