The waiting game

Backstage at fashion shows it can be very hectic. Lots of people running around. Organized chaos almost.
But there is still room for quiet moments before a show starts especially during the waiting. Waiting for the make-up to be put on and ready. Waiting for the clothes to be put on. Waiting in line for the show to start.
I have put some of these waiting moments together.

 A zen model moment

Models slightly losing control at the backstages in Milan Part 1

Models being funny (or trying to be funny) is a recipe for interesting images I would say. The models have fun (not all of them, some of the diva models refuse...), I have fun and the viewers have fun. So everybody wins! There be a few episodes to this series since I've shot a lot of girls. So something to look forward to.
I asked the girls for their normal straight face followed by their psycho/scary/scared face and finally to stick their tongues out.

Tech info: Nikon D300 with AFD Nikkor 50mm f1.4 Shot at ISO 400, aperture between f4 and f6.7, shutter speed 1/60s to 1/125s with a direct flash from the Nikon SB-600 flash.

Fashionistas outside the Cavalli show at the fashion week in Milan

Rain and cold weather is always good for people that want to show off at fashion shows. Because they can put more things on! Yeah! As we see here outside the Just Cavalli show at the fashion week in Milan.

Tech info; Nikon D700, AFD Nikkor 35mm f2, ISO 200, 1/500s, f4

Carta e Costura show at the fashion week in Milan

Images from the Carta e Costura show at the fashion week in Milan. Again in the beautiful Palazzo Clerici. Really good for shooting with available light. When I arrived at the backstage the models already had their cone hairstyle. So I am not sure how they did that. And when I started taking images I forgot to ask someone..Anyway, I think it really looks good. Compliments to the creators.

Tech info; Nikon D700, AF 50mm f1.8 and AFD 35mm f2, ISO 400-800, shot at f2.8, shutter speeds between 1/125s and 1/350s.

Tech info; Nikon D700, AF Nikkor 35mm f2, ISO 200, f4, 125/s

Lorenzo Riva show at the Milan fashion week

Images from the Lorenzo Riva show at the Milan fashion week. Generally not the most popular show with the fashion in-crowd but lots of times I get the best images where I least expect them. And if you go where other people don't you sometimes find things you wouldn't find elsewhere..I definitely got some decent images here. Not the best but decent.
What I found at this show and had never seen before was an old lady who during the show decided that backstage was not for her...So she came out like a model..Very professional...Unfortunately I was so surprised it took me a few seconds to realize what was happening that I didn't capture the moment. A momentary lack of photographer's instinct..


Tech info; Nikon D700, ISO 800/1000, AF Nikkor 180mm f2.8 (at 1/750s f2.8), AF Nikkor 35mm f2 (at 1/500 f3.3), AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 (at 1/500 f3.3)
