Fashion week has already moved on from London to Paris, but I recently just got back some shots backstage for the Ashley Isham show. I shot most of it on a Canon 5D, a brilliant camera in itself but I was not quite comfortable with it. Backstage is crazy frantic and people have told me it isn’t a place to use a film camera, much less a medium format one, but I’m glad I took these few shots. Very happy with them, as imperfect as they are.

If I ever get another chance at photographing models without a deadline of any sorts, I am definitely going to shoot with the Hasselblad again. Need to get an eyepiece though, the models were all looming over me on these waist level shots.
