Oxford Fashion Week

This year I covered few runway shows for Oxford Fashion Week. Some of the locations were absolutely beautiful and I was overwhelmed with the beauty of Oxford Examination Schools where one of the shows was happening. I think that the beauty of Oxford is well hidden behind the walls of universities and colleges. Events were covered with many interesting aspects…confident models, busy backstage areas, very strange music intro on Concept Show, many photographers and some really great great designs. When the lights went down, and the models appeared on the catwalk, all eyes and camera lenses were focused on them. Some of the shows were technically very challenging because of available light and I think that was the moment when all photographers started to work with each other. I actually enjoyed that part quite a lot. I was very pleased with the results in the end. I absolutely love dramatic looks, strange contrasts, uneven lighting and different angles. You have a very busy night aiming for the best result and you are completely in that. You almost forget to enjoy the other part of it, to observe details of the designs or the reactions of the public, your mind and your hands are completely focused on camera settings and available lighting. The next morning you sit in front of the computer looking at your work and then you smile. I smiled because I loved what I could see in front of me, and I smiled because of the fact that I do something I absolutely adore.
