Porsche’s first EV: the Taycan Turbo S shot on the Nikon Z9

Buckle Up! Porsche’s first EV: the Taycan Turbo S.

The drive was sublime: smooth and serene, every imaginable way a true Porsche should be, but better because it’s fully electric. First of its kind to contain a system voltage of 800 volts (majority of EVs are 400 volts) which basically means, consistently high performance and reduction of charging time.

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, generating up to 560 kW / 761 PS* (horsepower) of overboost power in combination with Launch Control. It carries the same acceleration figures as the 911 GT2 RS and has a combined range of up to 405 km (fully charged).

When you step on the accelerator and turn on the electric sport sound mode, you’ll whip back to the sound of a beautiful “spaceship” sound. It’s subtle, like a chameleon going about its business without making a scene. This was amusing to see because barely anyone in the fashion crowd realised we were there.

Well, my friends, the smile on my face sums up my Soul, Electrifying experience, the perfect EV car for any Biz woman. 😍

Thank you to my pro race driving coach, Bob for the day and the team at Porsche Australia.

AFTERPAY FASHION WEEK 2022 DAY 1 STREET STYLE on the NIKON Z 9

Karen Woo Leave a Comment

After a two year hiatus from Melbourne’s covid lockdown, this girl is KEEN to be back in Sydney shooting street style. Everything felt new and fresh to me – finding my feet around Sydney (or getting lost on the train ride to a meeting…) reconnecting with old faces and reuniting with my long time street style photography friends. I’m simply stoked to be back here at the AFTERPAY fashion week 2022, sponsored by Porsche. And the best part, I get to try the new Nikon Z 9 mirrorless camera and it’s truly a magnificent beast of a camera with exceptional quality imagery. If you want a camera that is robust, has continuous autofocus, captures an insane 25 frames per second and does not need to worry about water damage due to rain, then Heck, THIS IS THE CAMERA!

Here are the street style highlights from today’s Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2022. Enjoy! x

One of my most commonly asked questions is always about lighting – “How do I use lights to shoot street style fashion?”

PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2022: Shooting street style with the new Nikkor Z 85 mm

Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Yay, it’s PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2022!

Armed with my new Nikon Z 85 mm F/1.8 S prime lens, I headed off to Queen Victoria Market with the intention to capture some stylish people against the beautiful golden light.

You know I’m all about the LIGHT!

The sunlight was still harsh around 6:45pm, but it was a good test to see how the Z 85 mm lens would perform under these circumstances.

And girl! The results were impressive. My street style images turned out optimally sharp, the focus was on point, and the bokeh was simply brilliant. More over, the weight of the lens was a lot lighter than I expected, which is a must-have if you are running around.

Perhaps I’ll let you decide… what do you think of the images?

Anyway, it felt amazing to reconnect with everyone tonight, so thanks for the chats, hugs and snaps!

Until next time, stay well and be blessed!

x Karen
