A friend gave me the opportunity to shoot backstage at the Fashion
Week, an offer I could not refuse. I gave it a shot, documentary style. Here are some of the pictures (the series is over
40 pictures). I haven't done this before, so I found
it very hard to do! And my
insecurity (an amateur), caused me to not be at ease in the crowd. But it was a
learning experience so I guess it served a purpose.
