Last week I got invited to one of Canon's Fashion Meets on behalf of Professional Photo magazine, one of the publications I now work for. The main part of the event was to shoot one of the Trend Shows at London Fashion weekend from the photo pit. When I got the invite I was so excited! I'd never shot anything like this before and so many of my friends have said how amazing London Fashion Week is
We were first given tips from Getty photographer John Phillips, who shoots a wide range of celebrity events such as the Brit Awards and a number of fashion shows, and then we were talked through the type of kit and settings that were recommend for shooting the catwalk.
Being a Nikon user Canon kindly loaned me a 7D Mk II and 70-300mm lens for the job, which did just perfect. The experience overall was really exciting and I would definitely love to shoot more fashion shows! After the event we got to print some of our photos using one of Canon's portable Selphy printers, I used to have a similar printer years ago, and seeing the magic made me want one again!
Massive thanks to Canon for inviting me, I'd love to come along again next year!
