.... that's a lotta posts.... I'm amazed myself lol :-P;)
Aaaanyway, what better way to celebrate 4k posts than a little bit of fashion

This weekend I shot a fashion show organized @ Ontourage, a night club in Chicago. I was shooting for one of the designers, NicoleMarie. There were a couple more local designers in the show as well
blablabla... here are photos :)

a few candids of the models backstage:

And, finally, the show: (lighting was crap, of course, pitch black with a spotlight in the worst possible spot :)):

Congrats, and I must say these are very nice, especially considering the lighting was probably not the brightest.
NICE!

thanks for the kind comments everyone,
Drisley, you're right, lighting was absolute crap. I was a little pissed about that because just an hour before the show I had talked to the lighting supervisor and he had promised a flood lit stage ... yea right, all I got was a green/yellow/blue/purple backlight http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif ... I could have taken some nice silhouettes without flash lol
Tim, the one of the girl's back is one of my favorites... it was one of those holding-camera-up-not-looking-through-the-viewfinder shots http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif
RI Xterra, those models are lucky to have the opportunity to be photography by me http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/tongue3.gif j/k, it's great shooting this kinda stuff. The other good part is the fact that I usually skip lines, not pay for anything and hang out in VIP http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
