I got an email a few days ago inviting me to the launch of The Arch magazine.  And, of course, I said yes, it’s not often that I get invited to things like this.  The event was held at The Venue in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg… and was filled with local people, and a few celebrities.  The Arch magazine is a quarterly magazine that residents in the area will be getting, and it’s available for sale in the area, and will include local events and latest fashion etc from the centre.  It’s a good quality glossy mag, unlike the newspaper I get in my area!

Part of the event was a fashion show by Tiger of Sweden.  Tamara Dey and Danny K, who were in the crowd, had also been dressed by Tiger.

Well… this was a bit of a challenge for me and I loved it!! I’ve never taken photos of a fashion show before, didn’t know it was going to happen so I wasn’t prepared…  and I think I did quite well, after the first few minutes trying to sort out light etc.  I actually took most of these photos without flash.

What a fun evening!! I hope the magazine works… it’s really a quality mag.

And I hope I get invited to more of these… the Venue is just a perfect spot for a fashion show ‘cos I could get to the top to take photos!  Next time though, hopefully I’ll get warned about what was going to happen so that I make sure I have the right lenses packed!
