Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

o.k heres the clan of people i always see backstage
the guy on the far left i dont know, but he used a pocket wizard to control his of camera flash he was good but he opted for the nikon sc-29 cord with the IR on the hotshoe for lowlight
girl next to him dont know i think she shoots for IMG
guy next to her Pierre Toussant fashion editorial photographer extraordinaire from Rush magazine
guy next to him Robert Rosen social photographer for vogue
hes done all the haute couture shows in paris london milan
after 20 years Robert ended up with a D70 and he uses the pop up flash
and he stands by it
girl next to him, New Zealand times or something
ring flash guy eddie Ming shooting for Madisson
last guy on the right: sonny vandevelde from firstview
their all waiting for the girls to get into first outfits this is the time i leave backstage to shoot runway if im lucky i get to shoot first outfits but its only like 5 minutes before the show
heres a pic of kristian Dowling from Getty images, he is the backstage genius, thing is he doesnt shoot fashion he is just on assignment to shoot fashion week backstage whenever it comes up, he shoots everything from sport to entertainment, he opts for a mini macro flash for beauty shots
here kristian uses a gary fong difusser which he doesnt think too highly off we all agreed its more of a spreader than a difusser but he said it does the job
and heres Jasper Glavanics from Oyster using a moded ring flash notice how huge the battery pack is which his assistant is holding

Thanks for sharing this, Wendell. It's an interesting insight into the life of a fashion photog and some of the equipment they use.
D70 + pop up flash?!?!? For Vogue?!?! I guess it really is a case of not the equipment but how you use it.

the reason why Robert Rosen has the vogue account is not his skill with the camera its that he knows everyone in the fashion and social circles he knows who to shoot and who's in the current media spotlight
he's been shooting Sydney A-listers for over 20 years
Vogue have another person shooting runway with proper equipment
