Last 2 weekends I decided to try runaway fashion shooting. It was very intimidating with fellow photogs carrying the most professional gears and the 'BIG GUNS'. The photographers podium at the end of the runaway was always full and this was the best vantage point to capture the models as they catwalk down the runaway because you get a straight-on shot with the least amount of distracting backround (audiences, stage fixtures, mall, etc). So what does one not equiped with something along the lines of a 70-200mm f2.8 do to get a close up??
Well I got this model they call 'Lolita' (unsure if that is her real name) between the runway sessions for a 1-on-1. She was quite friendly and obliging. Though later after showing her the preview on the LCD and getting a smile of approval (i think that was a smile of approval), I made a mistake asking her if the picture was ok. She said..
"Up to you...YOU are the photographer.. (in a slightly french-like accent)"
Hahahahaha.....am not worthy... :D
P/S: I kinda like her with minimal make-up here as opposed to during the shows....makes her look simple yet sweet...
