It was a first for me on Sunday, Jan. 29, as I covered a bridal fashion show at the Menominee Casino Resort in Keshena for the newspaper. I have never covered a fashion show in my 10 years at the paper.
The lighting wasn't the best, but those of you who know me know that I prefer to shoot natural light rather than flash photography. The natural lighting in the fashion show area as a dim yellow light with purple lights going around the room ... looking pretty cool.
The dresses the models wore were vibrant colors for the bridesmaids dresses and bright white for the bridal gowns.
I cranked up the ISO on the camera to 2000 and shot at about 60 for the shutter speed. For the most part the photos turn out pretty nice because there wasn't a lot of fast action going on.
One of the other things I learned pretty quick was how fast paced it was. The models were non-stop moving in and out of the show, going back stage to get into their next dresses in under five minutes. The crowd watching the show was energetic, jumping around trying to win prizes and even having a mini dance-off for a prize.
Who knows, maybe this is the start of my fashion photography career! :D
Enjoy some of the photos!
