Elaine Curtis Fashion Show 2008

A random capture playing with a slow shutter speed at the elainECurtis Charity Fashion Show 2008. All of the proceeds from the night went to Saplings Schools: Providing a unique education for children with Autism.

The focus in this shot is very soft because of the slow shutter and the lights but that’s why I like it. You’ll hopefully be able to see my actual promotional shots and fashion shots on the elainECurtis website very soon and you can read more about this shoot here on my blog.
