Behind the scenes
Each year coordinating volunteers on site becomes a full time job for someone during the month leading into and during Air New Zealand Fashion Week 2008. This year Nicky Gadsdon stepped into the role of organizing more than 200 backstage dressers, ushers, drivers and support people. Nicky described her typical Fashion Week day.
“I correspond with at least 30 volunteers a shift and at least two shifts per day. The volunteers work tirelessly on their feet and play an all important part in keeping Fashion Week running. Many of the volunteers come from all over New Zealand and some of them have taken leave from work so they can experience Fashion Week first hand! When casting volunteers we look for passion, enthusiasm and availability.”
Shoot 'em up
Congratulations to Sacha Stejko of Whitecliffe who is this year's winner of the Sony Photography Competition - see right for an example of her strikingly beautiful shots. Talented runners-up included Yoon Tae Kim and Isaac Lee, also of Whitecliffe.
“Sony is proud to support the competition because it has proven to be a valuable stepping stone for photographers wanting to break into the professional realm of fashion photography. Submissions were of an exceptionally high standard this year, however Sacha Stejko's photos really stood out to the judges."
"Last year's winner Jessica Sim has returned to Air New Zealand Fashion Week this year to assist the event's official photographer Michael Ng, and Guy Coombes who was placed third in the competition last year, was onsite equipped with a Sony a900 taking snaps for Runway Reporter.” says Sam Williams, Product Manager – Digital Imaging for Sony.
