Wisconsin Fashion Week 2

I had no idea that editing the shots from this event would take so long. At last I am almost finished.



I thought it would be fun to post a handful of images taken as the models were being prepped for the runway show. This was the task I contracted for with WFW. I was bluntly told if anyone told me to go away I was to point out that I was an official photographer for the event. Fortunately, that never happened. Rather I pretty much established a friendly give-and-take with the models and stylists, doing my best to not get in the way, and thanking them for tolerating each of my intrusions.



This was actually a great experience, and I hope a few good contacts come out of it.



I like the before-and-after of this post when viewed with the earlier one. The transformations are sometimes pretty dramatic. Several of these models were prepped for well over an hour.







This one actually threw me for a momentary loop. The model is tall and statuesque, hard to overlook. She was being prepped with cupcake frosting - just cupcake frosting - from the waist up right in front of the huge windows that look out (from Overture) onto Fairchild Street. It made me chuckle.



I hope you enjoyed the peek into this year's Wisconsin Fashion Week!
