These are photos from another of Vernard's events that I shot for "The Sociables" @ thesociables.ca. It was the BUN Sesso 2012 Collection with Jennyfleur Loves & Rogue Fashion Shows. The venue was Chinois in Yaletown.

This assignment was for a collaborative blog of city adventurers called "The Sociables" @ thesociables.ca. I've been shooting fashion shows for quite a bit now so I knew exactly what to bring. I brought out the Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II, and the Canon 580 EXII flash.
Lens choice: for this shoot, I was primarily concerned with capturing the jewelry . Ofcourse it's a part of the overall look, but there are going to be a dozen other photographers taking those photos. And it also means when a colleague accidentally happens to stand in front of my spot to take his photos, I can just shoot over his head (thanks to smaller angle of view). So I went with a tele zoom with shallow depth of field to shoot those necklaces, because the dress and shoes are the accessories here.
Flash: This place is way too dark to pull off that Club 560 thing using directional lights on location.
Camera body: I brought a full frame body in case I was too close to the front (as opposed to the 7D and the crop factor), which I was. And I also wanted some shots of the designers and it'll look awkward if I went across the room to take it. The problem of course is the focus accuracy. It just means I gotta take more shots.

Also, I didn't bring any other lenses since I had no intention of doing the media wall or backroom stuff. I brought an extra battery in the pocket but that was it.
Most of the photos were taken at f/2.8, ISO-160 at 1/100s. I could have went with a lower shutter speed (the flash would freeze the action) but the background actually lead in to the kitchen, and illuminated the pots and stuff. I decided to go with a dark background instead.
