I'm sure I'm not "supposed to", but my favourite shots are the first three, of the makeup artist doing his work and then the model looking very pleased at the result. Brings some humanity to the whole fashion/modelling thing.
The fashion shots are wonderful, too. My fave is Paper. Sounds and looks like a terrific afternoon. Certainly a success if we can judge from the results.

On the weekend I attended a workshop on directing and posing models in the studio. A very cozy affair, our teacher Neeto da Silva held it in her home studio that she sets up in a lovely low-rise apartment around the corner from the old and iconic Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown Toronto. I met Neeto at the very first studio collaborative TF shoot I attended. Another photog and I were hugely impressed by her easy command of the set and the models, and discussed it with her. In some follow up email she agreed to tailer a workshop for the other photog and myself, and arranged to have two models and a makeup artist on hand. The shots in this GESO are mostly behind-the-scenes candids, but also three shots from a "flying hair" sequence. Both of the models had gorgeous, long hair and we were directed to use that and have fun with it. It took me a while to really let loose and get creative, but I did and I'm still feeling the high from this workshop, 3 days later. For equipment junkies: K20D, DA* 50-135/2.8, ISO 100. f/8 give or take. 2 x Elinchrom BX500 NI monolights with Profoto softboxes (24" I think). The candids are ISO 1600, various wide apertures (see the individual shots), natural room light from floor to ceiling windows.
