Finding opportunities for stock in what seems to be not     posted on 8th of november, 2007

I was at a shopping mall one day to try my hands on shooting some runway shots. It was my first and probably last as I got bored of it. It didn't mean a thing to have the faces of the models and clothes I won't buy kept in my harddisk. At least that is me.

Haha

So, there I was. Initially at the centre, sounds good but not. I was mobbed by photographers who were already in front hogging the best views for frontal shots. Well the sides were available, the runway was a small one, made like a horse racing track that ran both ways parallel to each other. I took the right side.

The models did pose along the way and even to the sides. Actually I felt it was better because of the fewer photographers, the chances of getting eye contact in the picture is higher compared to the centre where every single camera is vying for attention.

Well well. As I shot thoughts kept running through my mind, why am I shooting this for, might as well try to shoot for stock. This was what occurred when all the flash when on at the center stage.

 

I did try to capture some flashes going off but to no avail but I pressed on and had pictures that didn't had any flash. Photoshop came in and eureka! the flashes are on, it helped to cover the faces of the photographers somemore, no model release!

Stock minded. Anywhere, anytime. *winks*

Well, great. I think, we call it fashion 'Ramp' used for catwalk, what you are saying Runway.

wow 10k! i'm glad mine is free but i doubt it can compare with that photo in terms of quality and pure intentions!

This is exactly the right attitude: take advantage of the situation that you are put in. Shooting from the back, eliminated the model release issue and so did the flashes over the photographer. I know a photographer that set up a similar shot and the shoot cost well over $10,000 for the day. Congratulations you have created a valuable shot that should be downloaded again and again!

I'm one who likes to shoot things around us that we usually take for granted. I take this opportunity to present the these subjects as stock photos. You might have seen them but have not took a second glance at them. I have them here for you :)

Do leave a comment if you have downloaded my photos or credit to my name so that I can know where they are being used, it will be greatly appreciated if I can get to see my works published elsewhere. :)

Have a nice day!
