Surrounding Light

October 27, 2014Karen Woo Leave a Comment

I met a lovely photography student from RMIT a few days ago who visited my studio and interviewed me personally for his school assignment. He asked me a very good question, “what’s the most important thing to look for when shooting?” I told him that to create powerful story telling images is the way you use your surrounding light. Whether it is natural light (I LOVE shooting subjects in backlight and soft golden light) or using artificial light. Light sets the mood and adds so much dimension to an image.

To give you an idea what I mean, here’s one of my most favourite photo shoots to date with style blogger, Jess Dempsey from What Would Karl Do.

I must finish this post by saying that I’ve been receiving so many gorgeous emails lately from all sorts of people ranging from students, fashion bloggers, fashion clients to magazine/fashion editors from the US! I am deeply humbled by all your enquiries about my work, or wanting to work with me (or assist) and following my fashion work on Instagram. Thank you so much xo

Behind the Scenes at NYFW

September 16, 2014Karen Woo Leave a Comment

The New York street style experience has raised the bar where the New Yorkers aren’t afraid to experiment with mixing colour combinations, proportions, patterns, layering, textures and crazy custom-made outfits. This is what I adore about fashion. The ability to express yourself, and not succumb totally to designer wear. Having said that, there was some guy who dressed himself as the “Where’s Wally” character and walked amongst the crowd with his staff which was pretty funny stuff. I also saw another guy dressed himself in those Chinese red, white and blue sack material which was designed into the full suit. Gosh, they would do anything to be snapped up.

Besides all the outrageous outfits, I came across a lot of buyers, designers and celebrities like Paris and Nikki Hilton who turned up, to be mobbed by more than 50+ photographers and tourists wanting to have their picture taken with them, or more accurately doing a “selfie” with the celebrity.

Check out this video filmed on my Samsung Galazy 5 phone to get a sense of what it’s like being the Hilton sisters.

“Move away, move away!”

Now over at the Milks Studio, a mob of photographers were keen to snap up the infamous street style legend and Japan Vogue Editor, Anna Dello Russo.
