Mirza Mperial Collection
Posted under: I photographed the Northern Virginia Fashion Show for Taimur, the designer for Mirza Mperial. Taimur was showing off his first collection at the show. I was only meant to cover some editorial shots of the backstage of the show documenting everything from beginning to end. But in the middle of the shoot my fashion itch kicked in and I decided to set up a quick and dirty studio in the ‘changing/stock room’. For behind the scenes of the NoVa Fashion week, click here.
Unfortunately I had about 3ft by 6ft area to work with, or about 1m by 2m. Since I didn’t prepare for on location studio shooting, I had left all my umbrella’s and stands at home. I only had two speedlights, my homemade beauty dish and a bunch of velcro straps. So I quickly strapped the beauty dish to the nearest clothes rack with the SB-800 and bounced the SB-900 off the wall. Not a perfect system, but got the job done…sort of. Here are some snaps of Taimur’s collection.
Some of these outfits were from the first shoot. Hopefully we will be planning a new photoshoot soon with these gorgeous outfits….
I am #8(black suit) and #10(Blue Dress) in your photos.
I am looking to build my portfolio and Comp. cards. Also, a Fabulous head shot! Please contact me at your earliest convenience for a photo shoot.
Thank you!
P.S. You took great Pictures! =]
