Behind the Scenes at Park City Fashion Week 2025

Working as a photographer for Park City Fashion Week 2025 during the Sundance Film Festival was an unforgettable experience. The runway show was filled with incredible talent—from designers and models to hair and makeup artists, producers, and an entire team working tirelessly to bring the vision to life. Seeing the energy and creativity behind the scenes was just as inspiring as the show itself.

One of my favorite parts of photographing fashion shows is capturing the behind-the-scenes moments—the chaos, the final touches, the excitement before models step onto the runway. With so many moving parts, there's a raw energy that tells the full story of a fashion production, and I love documenting every detail.

But what I love most? Backstage editorials. While runway shots are essential, there’s something so exciting about finding creative pockets of space backstage and snapping quick, spontaneous portraits with the models in their stunning wardrobe, hair, and makeup. These moments feel fresh, unfiltered, and full of personality—capturing fashion in a way that goes beyond the runway.

Park City Fashion Week 2025 was a beautiful blend of artistry and storytelling, and I’m grateful to have been part of it. I can’t wait for more opportunities to work with such talented creatives and continue documenting fashion in all its forms.
