Catwalk for a Cause
I photographed the Delta Sigma Theta Catwalk for a Cause show at the Waterford in Springfield, VA. Show was produced by Evy Edwards of Kustom Events. Used my new mini Pocket Wizards with two off camera flashes.
Fashion with a Purpose
I was invited to photograph the Fashion with a Purpose show. The event was a fashion show fundraiser for the Cinderella Foundation that provides assistance for at risk girls. All of my photos appeared on the Facebook event summary posted by the producer on behalf of the foundation.

Lily at Frederick Fashion Week
I met Lily on Facebook and we discussed doing a photo shoot. I noticed that Lily would be working at Frederick Fashion Week and I mentioned that I was planning to be there. She asked if I could get some shots of her at the show. The results are below. The show had a decades theme and Lily’s look was futuristic. But for me the first pic also has a throwback feel and ’50’s starlet look about it — pose, expression, lighting, etc. Hair by Ashley Gerstner of O’Hair Salon, styling by Charelle’s Costume Shop both in Frederick, MD.

Mekeda at KAS’ Show at National Harbor
I photographed model Mekeda at the KAS Collection VIP event in the Sunset Room at National Harbor around 6:30pm. She was playing mannequin with one of Kas’ designs. The room was surrounded by windows looking out at the harbor and I shot without flash using available light. This portrait is about a 50 percent crop of a midriff up shot made at f4 and ISO 800. It’s a bit soft for portrait work but works OK for the web.
KAS Collection at National Harbor
I photographed the KAS Collection show at National Harbor including the VIP reception, rehearsal, and after show. It was an exciting and festive evening with many local notables attending and lots of media coverage. KAS’ designs are very appealing and styling for the show was first rate. Hair and makeup were top notch too and each model was looking his/her best.

Some of my favorite shots are below. They include a rehearsal shot , the show itself, and the after show.
VIP Exclusive Fashion Show at Russia House
I photographed a fashion show at the Russia House in DC that was produced by VIP Exclusive. I got the two head shots below using my 580EX II flash mounted on my Canon 5D Mark II. First shot is Yaskarita who was photographing the event and not modeling this night. This candid shot was made during intermission. The second shot of Bekka one of the show models was made at the after party. Don’t recommend using on camera flash for these type of shots because the light is hard and overall not complimentary. But if flash is all that’s available, you sometimes have to go for it. These came out good enough for posting.
Note: I used a Sto-Fen diffuser on the flash head
