La Saint Valentin at The Waterfall Building

I was at another event for The Sociables this Valentines.  I was shooting at The Waterfall Building, a skylit structure that's pretty popular around here for a variety of reasons.  It was a sexy art gallery venue and presented in part by LuvnGrace and Hennessy Cognac.

Vancouver Fashion Week 2012

I was called in at the last minute to provide coverage last day of Vancouver Fashion Week 2012 (Spring/Summer 2013 Collection).

I've shot at VFW a bunch of times before at the Empire Landmark Hotel, and I knew that venue inside and out.  I headed out thinking it was going to be more of the same.

But it seems things have changed in the last few seasons I missed.

The venue was the Chinese cultural center, a major improvement in my opinion, way more room and high ceilings make the whole operation feel like a bigger production.  Most importantly (for me) it had superior lighting that I'm sure many other shooter appreciated too.

These are some photos I took while getting footage of the various designers.  I got there in time to catch six of the shows: PINGHE, Daniela Villa, Farida Lalji, SODDI by Solon Diego, Y!D.N.A. by Andy Hoan Nguyen, and George Bezhanishivili.
