Shooting at Seoul Fashion Week

What an experience today was!  About a month ago, Mike asked if I wanted to join him and other photographers to shoot at Seoul Fashion Week for the FeetManSeoul website.  Fashion photography is not something I’ve ever dabbled in.  Instead, I usually stick to food, landscapes, and everyday life shots.  Still, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

I had today off and headed down to Hangnyeoul Station (Line 3) around noon.  Today’s shows were scheduled for 1:00pm, 3:00pm, and 4:00pm.  I met Mike near the front door and picked up my press pass.  Yes, you read that right.  Press pass! I didn’t have a backstage pass like Mike, but being “press” was good enough for me.  We breezed through the line and set up camp in the Press Room.  I met another photographer and friend of Mike’s named Denise.  I didn’t know it until I arrived, but I ended up shooting all three shows at the end of the runway with Denise’s 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, mounted on Mike’s Manfrotto monopod.

The press room and some snacks in between shows.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the actual pictures taken during the show.  Mike needs to post process the pictures, including putting the FatManSeoul watermark on them first.  Eventually, they’ll be available to view at FeetManSeoul.com.
