NoVa Fashion Show
Posted under: I went to the Northern Virginia Fashion Week tonight photographing on behalf of Taimur, designer for Mirza Mperial. I had worked with Taimur previously for his first designs with Jordyn in my first photoshoot in DC. I typically don’t shoot events, but having the opportunity to attend an official fashion show was very tempting.
The fashion show itself was quite a bit of fun, rather hectic. I arrived around 3pm just like the models and started snapping away from the fitting to the make up and hair to dry rehersal to the final mayhem before the final show. There are some beautiful designs and even more beautiful models. I didn’t have a chance to take the actual runway photos but instead I covered the behind the scene editorial side of things. I’ve got lots of photos to go through, and unfortunately processing those will have to come after the other photoshoots. So here are just a couple of the event.
After today’s shooting, I have come to realise that I don’t really enjoy event photography. As much as I like taking photos I enjoy the partying and socialising at the event even more. Having a camera in hand doesn’t allow me to socialise and chat as much as I want to. Event photography seems almost lonely in some ways. Anyways more photos to process in the coming days…i’ll finally give give my D2x a well deserved rest.
