This used to be the norm but times have changed. Too few people want to take the time to actually talk before a session. It can make a world of difference. You blow past the awkward meeting phase and answer all the ifs, ands, and buts without a camera in the way. One of the fun parts is seeing the passion the other party has about their past work. This time, our talk brought about a reminder of the few times I photographed runway fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No, Not That Guy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after a long hospitalization over six years ago, I received an email asking if I was available to shoot New York Fashion Week. At the time, there was no way I could make it happen, mostly due to my immediate health issues. But, then, I also questioned if they had the right person. Over the years, I have interacted with at least two photographers of the same name. I know of others, but I am apparently the easiest to confuse with these gentleman. One was an accomplished action photographer, well known for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markgunter.com.au\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cycling photography<\/a>. The other is a fashion photographer who is always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/markdgunter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on point<\/a>. I was pretty certain it was the latter the designer was trying to find, not me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Runway Fashion in OKC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The extent of my runway work has been relatively limited. I have done photography and video for a modeling workshop that covered runway. I assisted a time or two with a local prom dress shop&#8217;s runway show. The highlight, up to now, was being packed in like a sardine on a riser at OKC Fashion Week in 2013. Looking back through the images, I can feel the ache in my legs and the concern about space left on my memory card. A close look at the models walking the runway that night shows I have met or photographed at least a half dozen of them. It was a good experience and I&#8217;m sure I could do a much better job after a decade&#8217;s practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Runway Question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll put one question out there to you, dear reader: Are you aware of any runway shows coming up that might have room for a rogue photographer? I know I&#8217;ll never be as on point as my fellow photographer in California, but I&#8217;m up for pretending. Even better, if you know a designer in need of a photographer to document their catalog, I&#8217;ve got a bit of experience there, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in several years, I found myself sitting across the table from a model to discuss collaborating&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3148,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry","wpcat-14-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Roundabout Nostalgia and Runway Memories &#8226;
