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.
The models exiting.
Sylvia Lim - the brains behind TIAMO.
So what do you think?

[...] might remember I went to M-IFW a while ago, I posted one set TIAMO (Sylvia Lim) Presents Jonathan Cheng at M-IFW 2007 and promptly forgot I had stayed for another show after [...]

why 200 mm is better than 300 mm?
Using
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.
