Description

Caribbean Fashion Week 2010, The 10th anniversary edition was definitely different. The main flag for me was black background and black runway combined with terrible lighting it wasn’t the easiest fashion show to shoot. there were flares everywhere but i think i made the best of it.

In terms of equipment I had a gripped 30D with a 85mm f1.8 on a giottos monopod. the 1.8 aperture came in handy the 85mm was enough reach the main problem was horrid lighting from Intec (a local lighting company here in Jamaica).

There were shadows cast on the run way, so at points you could see the model’s walking from harsh light directly into shadows, So it became a matter of shooting at the right points.

From reviewing the images, Friday’s image sucked in terms of my standards. They’re usable but the photographers eye syndrome kicks in and  I know i’m capable of better output. The light flare’s were unacceptable though. Luckily saturday and sunday’s light were addressed and though not perfect I was able to milk it for what its worthy and got some great images for saturday and sunday’s presentations. To the left there’s an image from Milkaya Laijah presentation, Worn by Pulse Investment Supermodel Nell Robinson and Here’s a link to some images from the cfw 2010 collection Enjoy .
