Dave Block Photography

I had the chance to shoot a fashion event over the weekend – the Luly Yang couture show. This was a totally different experience for me because I’ve never shot any fashion of any kind, so it was all very exciting as a photographer. It was a difficult shooting environment – I could not use flash, so everything you see here is shot using ambient light at up to ISO 1600.  Luckily as I was heading out the door a friend gave me the good advice to bring my monopod which was a life-saver as the shutter speeds on most of these shots is between 1/30 and 1/125 of a second using a 70-200mm lens. Technical challenges aside, I had a great time and the experience made me really want to shoot more fashion and get better at it.
