TIAMO (Sylvia Lim) Presents Jonathan Cheng at M-IFW 2007

So my first time shooting catwalk actually, I’ve always considered it but never really tried before. I thought it might be tough as I don’t have a f/2.8 telephoto lens as I’m using the cheapo 70-300mm VR (f/4.5-5.6). I love the lens, but I guess I have to get the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens one day – weighs a tonne and costs a bomb *sigh*.

I went to M-IFW 2007 on the opening day in the afternoon to shoot TIAMO (brainchild of Sylvia Lim) Presents Jonathan Cheng, and then Triumph after that.

Designs by Jonathan Cheng and accessories/jewelery by TIAMO.

It was a pretty interesting experience, the lights had a tend to blow the highlights and the background was fairly dark – so getting decent subject separation wasn’t too hard. I couldn’t get a good spot in the middle at the front though as the platform was quite crowded.

The angle I got wasn’t too bad though as it meant I could get the model and the brand in 🙂

It was a very subdued collection, mostly black with a bit of white and grey, heavy black eye makeup and solemn expressions.

    pinkpau: Thanks! I was looking forwards to the Carven Ong show the next day, but I couldn’t make it – he has some great designs.

    Mark: No way man, that’s 6k I definitely don’t have right now. Just a dream…hopefully one day 🙂 Especially if I can actually get paid to shoot stuff like this haha.

    no wonder the cloth for 2nd picture look so familiar.. -_-” cause that’s what the Phoebe Huang wearing for Nation Care Charity Show @ Genting…

    hahaha… but come to think of it..i think Phoebe’s cloth is sponsor by Jonathan Cheng too…

    why 200 mm is better than 300 mm?

  10. Julia May 13, 2008 at 4:15 pm #

    Such nice shots. But what’s with the hair? Haha.

    Simon Seow: It’s not the focal length that matters it’s the aperture.

    Julia: Fashion mah.
