World MasterCard Fashion Week

I had the privilege of attending World MasterCard Fashion Week on behalf of Calgary Fashion. On Thursday our photographer couldn't make it, so instead of taking notes in the seats I was shooting the shows in the media pit.

Couldn't resist snapping these shoes - pink soles!

A couple things I have learned - the media pit is a scary place. You have to stand your ground. Everyone wants to shoot directly from the center, but obviously not everyone can. Don't let yourself be pushed around. I learned that by the third show, and after that I'd kind of figured things out.  Also, shoot in manual.

  1. I love how crisp these photos are! You would never guess that you were being jostled.

  2. I shot at 160 shutter speed with an aperture ranging from 3.4 - 5.6. I kept my ISO on auto and later fiddled around with exposure on Photoshop just to touch things up.
