London Fashion Week

                             Spring 2012 Backstage with Eniko Mihalik

This is a shot of Eniko Mihalik I took backstage at the Issa Spring 2012 showing at London Fashion Week. It was taken with a 5D Mark II, 24 - 70mm L f2.8 with a Mini Softbox LTP and a reflector. Sometimes it's pandemonium backstage as the models and crew prepare for show time. This generally gives my a very limited time to get the shots for each model as I usually shoot the shows too. I usually rush to the photographers podium 10 minutes before showtime hoping somebody hasn't claimed my spot.

Roberto Cavalli - Spring 2012

Sticking with Milan here is a shot from the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2012 collection. It was one of the final big shows I shot in Milan before getting ready to jet off to Paris. The model is Daphne Groeneveld, a fantastic model who has a very unique look. It's surprising that the decision was made for a black background with their being so many dark pieces. The models exited the show through a strangely lit middle section of the runway that was oddly curtained off from most of the audience.

Milan Fashion Week - Spring 2012

It's off to Italy next for Milan Fashion Week. MFW feels like more of a working holiday than a job. Here's a shot from the Frankie Morello Spring 2012 collection. This was shot using a Canon 70 - 200mm f2.8 L ISII and the model strutting her stuff on the runway is Kate King. This was a particularly fun show to shoot mainly down to the accessories and hats. The silver and gold camera necklaces gave a few of the models a chance to snap us for a change.
