Cambridge Style Week- Photogaphy Intern.

I had previously posted that I was going to be a photography intern at Cambridge Style Week on the 22nd February. As I have been working on my assignment I have only just got round to posting about it. I was back to work last week after a week off and with my shift work some weeks it is hard to find the time.

I attended CSWs Ethical and Sustainable Fashion Show is about sourcing and producing fashion which is environmentally aware. The show was also about raising money for Born to be Beautiful which provides beauty therapy training and skills to victims of slavery and poverty.

I was particularly looking forward to seeing designer Zoe Boomer showcasing her clothes on the runway. She supports The A21 Campaign who aim to abolish human trafficking. Her range of FREEDOM tops are to raise awareness and funds for the cause.

Others showcasing at the show were Curious Orange, GD Designer Hire, Rosie's Vintage and Styling by Style Heaven.

 

Below are only a few of the 375 images I took. I was able to stand at the end of the runway in the press section so I was in a great position.

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

    



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really enjoyed the whole experience and it has made me realise how much I love fashion photography. To gain further experience I have been looking for other internships and have been contacting other areas around the country which have their own fashion weeks in the hope that they will allow me to attend. I found that I learnt a lot more than I had expected. I did not want to use the flash gun as the room was right white and I would get a lot of bounce back.
This would also affect all of the other photographers.Instead I went for a higher ISO to compensate. It was also a valuable experience to get used to quickly altering the camera settings as you do not have very long to get your shots while the model walks down the catwalk towards you. I am really hoping to develop my skills in this area and see where it leads.
