We're half way through Fashion Week and so far there hasn't been any of the lengthy delays I remember when shooting in Paris or Milan or New York. A big thanks to house photographer George Pimentel for keeping things under control in the photo pit.
Below are some of the highlights Keith and I captured both on and off the runway today.

After a short hiatus, I'm back shooting Toronto Fashion Week, this time with Star photographer Keith Beaty. While I'm shooting video at the shows, Keith will focus mainly on runway stills for our paper and web galleries. Deadlines for print and online are as tight as ever. We'll still be looking for behind the scenes and some fun photography so check with us throughout the week.

When photographing a red carpet you sometimes catch other camera flashes going off in your photo. Most of the time this ruins a photo but sometimes you can save it. These photographs are the result of light accidents which together make a series of photographs which aren't perfect but are definitely a twist from the traditional glamour shots from the red carpet.

Shooting fireworks is one of the toughest things to do with a tripod never mind without one.
On Canada Day, Richard Lautens was assigned to shoot the fireworks at Ashbridges Bay, he did it right.
At those same fireworks I left my home with my family in tow, a stroller filled with blankets, snacks and at the last minute a camera with a 24-70 lens on it.
RICHARD LAUTENS did it right, he arrived early to stake out a spot. He brought a tripod and a remote trigger. He made this picture with a 15 second exposure at f/14 and ISO 400. He used his hand to cover and uncover the lens between firework bursts and used an off camera flash to light the couple on the lifeguard chair.
