This last set is kind of a hodge podge of images that I wanted to publish. They are from a mix of Billy Reid, Hyden Yoo, Nicholas K, and Petrou/Man.

N. Hoolywood NYFW Sept. 2011
N. Hoolywood chose an interesting venue, this fall. The show was at an auditorium at BMCC. Theater lighting was in effect which made it a bit challenging to shoot. But it was also a nice variation from the typical runway show.
General Idea NYFW Sept. 2011 Runway
This was a great show. General Idea was one of my favorites last spring, as well.
Native Son NYFW Sept. 2011
The Native Son show was a hybrid runway/presentation. It went down at Chelsea Piers. I arrived early to shoot some back stage stuff. There was a moment after hair and makeup, where a handful of the models climbed through a window out onto the roof for a smoke. I followed them out. On the roof is where I snapped a few of my favorite images from this round of fashion week.
Band of Outsiders New York Fashion Week 2010 Presentation
Band of Outsiders, in a little variation on the traditional “runway” approach to FW shows, decided instead to have a “presentation.” I have to admit, I really liked it. Instead of having that stuffy feeling where you are stuck in your seat for 20 minutes trying to scribble down notes/snap images, the presentation had a much more organic flow to it. The flow was a lot more natural. Observers were able to confer with one another without feeling like they were interrupting or missing something. From the point of view of a photographer, I have to say it was a lot less stressful than shooting a runway show. Instead of just blasting away on the shutter button for 2o minutes and sorting out the mess later, I was able to actually take my time and plan out my shots. On the flip side of that, there is really no excuse for getting a bad shot at setups like these. I hope that is becomes more common. Click through to Selectism and Highsnobiety for some commentary.
