Rent a fashion shoot location in Washington, DC

Fashion takes the best aspects of portrait and product photography, showcasing the beauty of a model adorned in their finest apparel. As important as both subjects are, though, the venue also makes a huge difference in how the images are perceived. Fashion photography can be captured inside of a photo studio, as with haute couture or lifestyle approaches. Or you can take your show on the road by creating urban fashion on the streets of the city.
Like most big cities Washington DC has some of the best amenities for creative fashion photography. From intimate studios to venues that seat thousands of guests for international shows, there's a space for any concept in the nation's capital!

The first thing to consider is how large of a space you're going to need. Traditional runway fashion show shoots and shows need venues on the scale of an auditorium or theater to provide enough room for models, photographers, and the audience. Fortunately, DC has hundreds of performance spaces with stages, runways, and other amenities for a classic approach to fashion shoots. Each one of these venues has seating for hundreds of attendees and professional lighting mounted into the floor or ceilings as well.
Convention centers are where most fashion shoots and shows happen. Venues like the Walter E. Washington Convention Center offer as much as 2.3 million square feet of space for fashion shows, corporate gatherings, and conventions. Not to mention parking, meeting rooms, bathrooms, and other amenities to support such a massive event!
The world of fashion is much more than clothes featured by apparel brands, however. Drag shows and other fashion events are often held at Washington, D.C. bars catering to the gay community! Nellie's Sports Bar has drag fashion events year-round as do others. You can also rent space on the rooftop of a hotel, the deck of a ship along the Potomac, or the lounge of a luxury restaurant.

You can also choose to work inside of a well appointed studio set up for fashion photography. These venues can be booked by the hour or day, making them more flexible and affordable than most theaters or other large-scale spaces. Fashion photography studios also come with the best amenities. You'll find full-length mirrors, makeup stations, light modifiers, and photography backdrops included with most bookings.
