This was a backstage I had been looking forward to throughout London Fashion Week, I was still suffering from some slight jet lag but the show must go on and the Paul Smith Fall 2012 show didn't fail to impress.
Something I love about shooting backstage is getting close to the hair, the make-up, the garments and the usually intense build up to show time. Stylists and choreographers tempers sometimes flare but thankfully it all ran smoothly. More models appear to be using iPad's this season to pass the time sat in hair and make-up.
These images were shot using a Canon 5D Mark II, a 28 -70mm L f/2.8 with a mini soft box.
