MEDIA POLICY

Fashion Week of Rochester has official photographers covering the runway shows. Only these authorized photographers will have access to the press pool at all times. Photos will be made available for viewing following the completion of Fashion Week at www.fashionweekofrochester.org. (If your media organization needs photos during Fashion Week, please contact Elaine Spaull.) 

News media are invited to cover each runway show. Due to space limitations, only one reporter and a photographer/videographer (2 people) from each outlet will be allowed access each night. Members of the media need to check in at the main entrance to obtain media passes. These passes should be worn while in the tent covering the event. Separate media passes for bloggers are not available. Please contact Elaine Spaull to notify Fashion Week your media outlet would like to attend and provide details on the nights you plan to cover. We request that all media respect ticket holders and do not stand or sit in front of guests. We appreciate your cooperation. 

If you are a private photographer or videographer for a designer or boutique, please contact Elaine Spaull in advance to request access. Cameras will not be allowed backstage.

Please note: Non-credentialed photographers are prohibited from interfering with and/or obstructing the view of guests, sponsors and official Fashion Week of Rochester photographers. We also ask that all photographers limit their footprint and only bring the least amount of equipment required for photography to each night's show.
