Max Factor Fashion Show

We had some good fun last night- a star studded fashion show at Social in Hollywood- how could you not?

Some good friends of mine and great photographers, Mario and Paul at Vero Image, took me along to help out a bit with this job. It's kinda weird because I am not too familiar with the correct etiquette, rules, etc. of Hollywood, and I don't want to disrespect anyone or irritate them. It seems that some photographers don't care about anything or anyone- just getting their shots. I would rather miss a good shot than disrespect someone or violate their privacy.

We were shooting for the production company so we had full access to [pretty much] anywhere we wanted- the news photographers all to stay in the specified locations:)

I'm not too familiar with all these famous people so I had to ask people who some of them were, but I did know a few.

I found this at PRNewswire (read the full story here):

It was exciting- when the fashion show started I had to stay in one spot with photographers and video cameras all around me... when the first girl came out if sounded like a playing card in the spokes of my bike when I was a kid- the camera shutters where going crazy. My heart started pounding and I just went for it!

I had some good fun- it was quite an experience. Check out some shots below:
