Runway walk at the 2025 Your Voices Heard fashion show
This was the grand finale of the event; the runway walk with the models wearing their designer outfits. I was assigned a shooting station that was definitely challenging. The models were supposed to walk straight down the runway, stop at a fixed point, and do a sharp 90 degree turn to the left and I was to photograph them with the golf course in the background. The organizer assured me that the lighting would be good. It all sounded good and pretty much none of it happened.
Once the show started an unauthorized photographer set up near where the models were supposed to stop and turn - many of the models thought they were to stop for him; once they shot with him they ran into the doorway. Grrr. Since this was a country club some members were cutting in between the models, some of the models didn't stop at all, and the lighting was gawd awful - it was both bright and hazy from wild fire smoke. The runway walk was definitely not my favorite part of the weekend but I'm still glad I had a chance to shoot with these lovely models.
