There's nothing like getting a photo published in the New York Times, especially when it illustrates a feud between two rich celebrities who seem to be ignoring each other. So sad :(

This image was taken for Giuseppe Zanotti on a paid assignment for Getty Images on the final Fashion Night out that happened back in 2011. There were many celebrities that came that evening, but by far the most buzz was around the arrival of Nicki Minaj in her faux Geisha outfit.

Fekkai Pamella Roland Fashion Show Photography
It's a rare moment for me to cover fashion again, I had spent years working as a press photographer for Getty Images and have covered a number of fashion weeks during that time, I even worked for a small italian fashion house one year covering several presentations a day. My good friend Hal Horowitz referred me to one of his clients and I was able to spend the afternoon backstage with the talented style team at Fekkai getting them ready for the Pamella Roland show. Most images were shot with the Leica Q and a Canon 1DX and Canon 5DS. The press riser with all of the european photographers is always quite a laugh. I had forgotten that they yell at the models if they walk off center "IN THE MIDDLE!! IN THE MIDDLE!!"
Hopefully next fashion week I can work more behind the scenes jobs for hair or makeup sponsors. It's nice to have the freedom and the access to shoot however I like.
