THE FULL ON RED DRESS FASHION SHOW

I know I touched on this event before, but this event really was important to me. It was my dream event to shoot someday and I couldn't believe I was credentialed to shoot inside the tents. To be qualified you needed to have had two photos "Fashion Photos" published in the last 6 months. I got one right under the wire with Victoria Beckham, which was published in LOOK UK in December. I had always want to shoot the Red Dress event, as it was one of the first events I my "Fan" friends took me to see after I moved to NYC. So to actually be there that Friday morning two weeks ago to shoot it was just a dream come true for me. I had never shot a "fashion show" before and thankfully spent the night before doing a lot of research. I learned that the lights were "hot" enough to shoot without a flash. That's exactly what I did. As we go further in the week you will see the difference when I used flash, and when I realized that it was entirely too bright to do so. The photos came out great without the flash. Here is Jenna Fischer from The Office. Rita Moreno a latina legend, in fact a legend period. I got chills just watching her come down the red runway The finale and all the girls Sadly when Camryn Manheim walked the runway the first time I had no idea it was her and I didn't really take any photos. I really have to get those bifocals - lol The last act. Although I can't stand W, I was thrilled to see Laura Bush in person. Why she wore white on "Red Dress Day" just baffles my mind.
This was such a fun event and I am so glad that so many people video'd it so you can enjoy it too. The AP guy must have been right in front of me as the angle seems to be the same.

IT turns out that this is someone I know and they thought it was funny. I am going to keep it up here to remind me that I should do a better job at choosing friends. Maybe this person should do something creative in their life instead of tearing other people down or playing mean spirited jokes on their "friends". thanks for all your support and your emails. I really appreciate it. HughE
