VFNO - Getting it on in the Pitt Street Mall with the Big VOGUE Balloon.

Stay tuned for the 'The Social Party' event write up cross blogged by Vivienne and myself, till then..

Street Fashion Sydney - shot with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 

Evening Gowns at The Strand Arcade

Last night was the Final Year Ultimo TAFE Student, Ball Gown Parade at the Strand Arcade in Sydney. As I photographed one of the students ranges about ten days ago I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to this Gala event. As one would expect the fashion students had pulled out all stops in creating some truly dazzling evening gowns. 

However, when wearing my 'Street Photography' hat its not the Gowns that I am there to shoot its the people in attendance. I spotted these two with a couple of their friends early on in the night and was managed to get off a shot of them in Pitt Street during a ciggie break after the show, before the final announcements. As it turned out the both work for a well known Sydney designer with the lovely lady on the right having completed the same design course only two years ago.

Two of the models from the parade. Agh; it seems runway make-up is a lot heavier than the make-up we use for shooting fashion! I have had the pleasure of photographing Sarah on the left several times in the studio & on location.

There's no point going for the shots someone else will get. Here's a top down view of the runway running right down the center of the Strand Arcade; my 'brother' photographers are forming a tight posse in the photographers pit at the bottom of the shot.

Thanks to the Students, Teachers and Sponsers for putting on a great show

Rock 'n' Roll in the Pitt St Mall

Late night shopping in the Pitt Street Mall really but I couldn't help think of the mighty Finn brothers & Split Enz when I saw these three strolling along. Its all about the hair, and the clothes and thats one fine bike too! OK, 'I See Red' might have been released in 1979 but that doesn't mean the 80s aren't back. If you want the proof check out the video at the bottom of this post.

This Man hails from Brooklyn but we found him working the shoes in the shop right behind him in this shot. We needed to wait for him to finish his shift before we could get his shot and I have to say this store is doing great trade!



Well while Kaori & I were waiting for Simon(?) above to finish work we decided the shoe shop made a great background for the nights shots so here they are.









 
Its all about the accessories!



The Enz :~))
