Hello, everyone!

Rachel and I had a great time last week in Chicago shooting a Vera Wang runway show. We flew up to Chicago after shooting a wedding in Jekyll Island, Georgia.

We made it to the show with literally a few minutes to spare. We were lucky we had a lead-footed cab driver and no flight delays

This was a high-energy event in Chicago...VERY cool.

wow!!! great job!

Great job! You took the very staged event of a fashion shoot and managed to find and create images that were real, storytelling, and had some emotional impact. Excellent.

Nice Andrew! I love the way you approached the entire shoot as a cohesive event, fantastic.

congrats andrew!!

ps - if you dont mind, was this for a magazine?

B-E-UTIFUL!

Nice work!

Andrew,
Amazing as always! I love the b/w here with the big poofy veil and there is a b/w in the slideshow full length from behind that is gorgeous, too. You'll be shooting Vera's NYC show soon, I'm sure.

Get some rest!

Nice work Andrew and Rachel! I like how though this was a runway shoot, you still managed to pickup all the little event details to turn this into a story! You guys are running and gunning straight from a long hectic travel schedule and pull off beautiful images!!

Beautiful work...per usual Would I expect anything less?

Whoa... Very Nice !!!

sweeeeeet!!!! Those are awesome!

Thanks, man!

So...do they have Krispy Kremes and pressed sheets in Canada?

no pressed sheets or Krispy Kreme! How sad that I have to endure this...

What an opportunity. This is great guys. Looks like fun and the photos are incredible. Love the lighting!!! The colors throughout the night are very intimate and inviting. What lens is that with the Asian model looking away from the camera in photograph #8.

ahhhh.... So absolutely massively Awesome! Luck-eee!

Awesome guys....I love the slideshow.

Thanks, Cory...it was a challenge to keep the models from modelling for the camera



It was for the event's PR...hopefully it will wind up in a magazine!



That is the very slow-to-autofocus, low-light Wunderlens, Canon 85 1.2.

Thanks everybody for your comments

I neglected to mention that my lovely wife, Rachel, is responsible for about half these pix.

WOW---stunning!!!

At events like this do you shoot with a flash??

Also, with all the guest and such what f-stop do you tend to shoot as most to get the best quality...esp. with such the low light factor??

Fantastic!! What an incredible opportunity. Your work/style is timeless...

Ooooh fun. I think I like the last one the best in the way that it shows the motion of walking the catwalk!

Wow those look awesome!

The photos that I posted on OSP (at the begininng of this post) were all shot available light (with very fast prime lenses) except for the shot of the 4 models from the back. I bounced flash off the wall for that image.

When the quality of available light in a space is good, as it was at this event, we try to shoot with available light.



Hey Josh,

I noticed you're from Monroe, LA.

Have you ever shot a wedding at First Presbyterian there?

Wooooowwwww (whisper-like) with my mouth ajar. LOVE your stuff.

Incredible work as always! And, next time let's connect as you guys were in my backyard.

Wow factor...as always.

Mmmmm yummy work!!!

You are truly a master of exposure! Do you shoot manual for this type of thing?

That's what I thought it looks awesome!!!

Sooooooo elegant. You guys continually make it happen and it's so inspirational to watch!

gorgeous ..looks like a blast! Where'd ya find the slideshow music? it is so unique, I just love it.
