Shot using a remote camera

ASA Infinity Studios were out on location once again this month, this time photographing the Spring American Intercontinental University fashion show event held in Marylebone High Street, London. ASA’s in-house photographers are always trying to push the boundaries and when the brief allows, unusual camera angles can create the “fly on the wall” viewpoint, capturing the dynamic press image.

Shot from the press area

The brief for this show required a shot of every outfit on the catwalk, as well shots of the set build during the day, backstage and the evening event.  The client only required one photographer, but ASA wanted to cover the live catwalk event from two positions.  So much like sports photographers, ASA setup a remote camera. A Nikon D3X with a Hama wireless remote control receiver, was mounted to a small Manfrotto tripod and placed alongside the runway. While shooting from the press area at the end of the runway, ASA’s photographer could trigger the remote camera when the models were in the right position. This gave the client an extra set of shots, with some super creative angles.
