As a catwalk photographer I had the privilege
of being the photographer at a charity fashion show in Richmond, North
Yorkshire, organized and held on behalf of Age UK on the 17th October 2012
Held in the grand opulence of the ballroom
of the Kings Head Hotel Richmond, which in their true tradition they granted
free of charge as a contribution to the charity. It turned into a great night
with a good turn out from the public and followers.
Fashion was supplied by Erica Dillon Richmond, an interesting ladies boutique located in Finkle Street. I believe
they also took a few hundred pounds of sales from the stall they had, so not a
bad night all round for Nichola and Lynn who run the business.
A number of other businesses were
represented with stalls and even the tombola did well adding to the charity’s
takings from the evening.
But most of all it was the models who
should take the credit. All amateurs, some showing for the first time. They
performed very well – nervous at first, so they reckoned, but really enjoying it as it
went on, so much so that I can see me working with some again. A number of Age UK volunteers took part and age or capability was no barrier - well done to them all.
