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

March 4, 2022Karen 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

VAMFF 2018 David Jones Backstage Highlights

March 6, 2018Karen Woo 1 Comment

After a super long vacay in Hong Kong, I’m so glad to be back on the fashion week scene, this time at the back of house capturing my favourite runway looks at VAMFF. Tonight’s runway show was presented by David Jones; and hair and makeup by Priceline Pharmacy. This season was all about the patterns, hound tooth and plaid blazers, and pointy boots. If you were to ask me what’s my favourite, I would have to say the hound tooth long coat with this beautiful gathered back by Bianca Spender, and Jessica Gomes’s heavenly floral shirt and flared silk pants! I also loved the caramel and electric blue colour combination. Ok it’s your turn, tell me what is yours!

MBFWA2016 Street Style Highlights DAY 2

May 17, 2016Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Hey everyone! Sorry I missed you all yesterday at Toni Maticevski’s main event. I already had a shoot booked in prior to fashion week so I wasn’t going to let my client down. Don’t worry I’ve been watching all the video clips and snapchats so I’m on top of things, and the show looked spectacular I must add.

Yay! It’s that exciting time of the year again where all the mega fashion blogger stars and celebrities dress in their best threads to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia event. Overall, my absolute favourites (to name a few) were definitely Isobelle Cornish wearing full Miu Miu and Burberry outfits; Carmen from Chronicles of Her in her Gucci outfit; Brooke Testoni wearing Max Mara sweater and flares; and Emily from Stylebk in Peggy Hartanto. I saw lots of Gucci fur slides, the typical monochrome outfits and variety of deconstructed denim jeans, but Vetements gets my major vote.

Anyway I’ll let you decide so here are my favourite street style looks of day 2. Enjoy x

VAMFF 2016 Opening Night Street Style

March 8, 2016Karen Woo Leave a Comment

With the new venue set at the Royal Exhibition Building, the highly anticipated fashion event has officially begun! I couldn’t be more excited to capture the style on the streets, and from what I’ve seen – pleats, fringes, high knee boots and strappy heels were the common threads.

Thanks for all the snaps, and it was great seeing a few new faces and catching up with everyone. Enjoy the highlights pre-David Jones opening runway show!
