My girl Charmaine thew a fannnnntastic party a few weeks ago. It was a Red Dress Gala, in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation... and let me tell you a Gala it was indeed!
She asked me to take a few snapshots of the event --- which included a fashion show featuring hand crafted dresses by some amazing local talent.
With sooo much going on throughout the evening I also had the opportunity to co-shoot with this guy- which was not only a fun thing but a good thing because there were a lot of amazing moments to capture.
It was an unforgettable evening and my FIRST runway shoot, which meant there was a lot to learn...
Things to think about when shooting Runway:
- Bring a flash... runways are dark and it's good to have some light to throw around.
- Be there early- and check out what the the lighting is going to be like throughout the evening. Lighting will change and it's good to know what surprises are coming your way.
- Know the catwalk routine. Walk, walk, walk- PAUSE & POSE- walk, walk walk... make a fierce face, hold & TURN- walk, walk, walk.
- Have your trigger finger like it's a a high noon showdown- models have some of the best (and worst) poses and faces... you'll probably catch both- but try to be ready so you get more of the good vs. the bad.
- Thank your partner in crime- and thank the person who thought to have two of you shooting the event! Having two people running around with cameras while people are walking down the runway is always a great thing. You get more photos to pick from and you also get to game plan what you want to shoot. Which brings me to...
- The game plan- the best part of having a two shooters is that you can watch and be more selective with taking photos. One of you takes details and people shots, the other takes environmental/big picture photos.
- Enjoy the event- there are only so many Red Dress Galas a girl gets to go to.... so take a moment or two and enjoy the event.
- Before the show starts and people arrive... take a walk down the runway - why? Because - you can. And don't forget the fierce face.
