Photographer in Melbourne, Australia

Shanghai Photographer at Shanghai Fashion Week

Added on by Dave Tacon.

I thought I may as well write a little on my photography Shanghai Fashion Week. I shot 8 days straight and was quite exhausted by the end. It was mainly for Vogue, but also for WWD and a market research company for the jewellery industry. 

This time, I was working for a different team of Vogue editors in NYC. After I filed my first selection of shots, I asked if there were was anything they’d like me to look out for. They said they were happy, but they’d like more movement and more colour, so that’s what I looked for from that point on. 

Unlike other seasons, I was only assigned to shot street style this time around, although I was invited to and went to a few shows.

The thing about street fashion photography is that it has a limited shelf life, but at a certain point, I feel this work is going to become more valuable in terms of social documentary. 

I recently did an interview, partly about this work, with a fashion blog and I might repost that here once it’s out.

Anyway, here are some shots from the week.
