A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to shoot back stage at a fashion show and capture some quick model shots of Courtney Martinez for her portfolio. The shoots took place at a frantic pace at the Oasis Salon and Spa adjacent to where the fashion show was taking place. What interested me were the interactions between the models themselves and the makeup folks. Just loved capturing the energy of the moment. No shots of the ‘actual’ show itself. That was left up to another pro photographer. The shoot was all last minute arranging so I had little time to co-ordinate that part. Nevertheless, I think I had the more interesting shoot:-)
The model I centered most of my attention on was Courtney who had kindly invited me to the show, a distant relative on my wife’s side. It just so happened I was looking for a good story to cover. She looks beautiful and was allot of fun to work with!
The photos are also available to see on my main website.
