Fstoppers Original: King Street Studios Shoots Charleston Fashion Week

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to shoot a fashion show? Last month Patrick and I had the unique opportunity to follow Todd Surber and Reese Allen of King Street Studios around as they shot Charleston Fashion Week. Todd was in charge of capturing the standard runway shots and that freed up Reese to do something a bit more unique. After securing a small corner of the tent backstage, Reese set up a simple studio with a single light and grabbed models right before they were rushed onto the runway for a quick portrait session. You will be blown away with the quality of images that were taken on such a simple setup. After you watch the video, be sure you check out King Street’s other work at www.kingstreetstudios.com and in you live in Charleston check out future Charleston Fashion Week events and news at www.charlestonmag.com/fashionweek

This video was shot with 2 Nikon D300s cameras… 1 tripod, 1 Glidetrack, and 1 Steadicam Merlin.

Thanks David… without King Street we wouldn’t have been able to get into Fashion Week this year so it kinda evens out :)

I’m sure the party afterwards was quite cool huh? :)

The after parties were amazing! It’s nice to get a little reward after each day of work. Charleston has really done an excellent job at creating an environment for up and coming designers and models to mingle and network with the more established artists and media after each show. If any of our readers are in the southeast, you definitely need to hip up this event next year.

Hellz yeah! All the slider clips looked great, despite the difficulties you guys had. King Street rocked it, especially the backdrop shots :-O

There is Lee working @ 3:21.. You seem to like filming with that 300s. Now we know who is going to be the next Spielberg’s replacement :)

I love it! Watching these videos gives me so much inspiration. Hopefully, one day I can shoot a fashion show like this.

This is great! Thanks guys! Which model of the glidetrack did you used for the video. Thanks!
http://www.rlmorrisweddings.com Lee
@gasperkay: I can’t remember the model I just remember that I don’t like it. Buy the Indislider. Much better and much cheaper.
