The thing i like about fashion photography is the challenge. The biggest of all challenge is the lighting and movement. Its really rare to catch them with perfection, since they are always in motion and seldom pose for you unlike the studio photographs.
In this situation you can just trust your manual settings, release the shutter and hope for the best.
I like this model in particular, probably because she looks such an Angel. Would an Angel be like this ?? :-)
Whenever i look at this picture, i just have this feeling that she is going to come out of the monitor and speak to me. Probably because the way she was looking at the lens when i was shooting her with her monalisa smile. :-)

Cool pic indeed.
@Re..: Thanks Rekha. :) Appreciate your kind words and comments.
I think you succeeded in your challenge. The lighting and subject are superbly captured! You definitely defeated the movement, well done. I hope you got her number!

@Rags: Thanks Rags. :)
I can't speak for the angels, but I'd like to look that good. Beautiful lighting to go with (that's a great color on her too)

@Shrig: Thanks Shrig, if you happen to be here in Malaysia, make a shooting outing with ur buddy Rahul and u sure will look better than this. :)
Even though they don't stand still long enough for a shot...you have a talent for capturing them as if they were posing just for you. She's beautiful!
I want to thank you for all your encouraging words and advice....I appreciate it all.

@Candace: I must thank you pal, for such motivating words. The challenge in fashion photography is exactly what you just taked about. Shoot them as if they are posing for you, although they never are, or its just for a second. :)
k, now you are tempting me to go out and take even pictures! :P beautiful!
