London Fashion Week Backstage
Basically, all my pictures are from the backstage of London Fashion Week, which is where I enjoy the time the most — because we can see the effort of the people working: hairdressers, make-up artists, models and stylists. It is all consumed on the catwalk in 5 minutes, but behind the scenes is where all the work is done.
In the first picture, I stole a shot of a photographer while he was framing a model who was waiting to be prepared. I liked the vision of the image in the camera. I thought it was the right moment to catch the unexpected pose. Designer: LEAF XIA.
In the second picture it is again the backstage of the Fashion Week A/W 18. The fashion designer was Dumpty, and I was amazed how all the models were made up and branded with his name on every model's forehead. I spotted this model while he was being prepared before the catwalk.
In the third picture it was not at Fashion Week. It was taken during a documentary named "Can You Make Me a Porn Star", where we documented an ex-porn star — after quitting her job — and how happy she was with her life and the success of her movies. Especially, she wanted to underline the importance of not mixing sexual pleasure and the proper job. The message was not to feel ashamed of it and to be proud of what you think is worth it in your life. The documentary was for "Little Sassy Production", directed by Vanessa Cruickshank.
