My second Fashion video shoot of 2013, not as far as Dubai this time, but the grand location of London’s Dorchester hotel. Another shoot for Electric Robin and Getty Images, this time using only two Cannon C300 cameras with myself and Nick Bradbury . I used a canon prime 17-55mm, which gave me a lot of flexibility in my shot choice. All my work was all hand held.

The grand final was an opportunity for the talented shortlisted designers – to present their designs at a catwalk show to the  audience of judges and international VIP guests and media. After much deliberation, the judges agreed that the collection displayed by Huishan Zhang was the best of the four designers who also included Barbara Casasola, Fyodor Golan and Emilia Wickstead. Huishan was presented with an endowment of £25,000, along with an engraved Baccarat crystal trophy and a stay at a Dorchester Collection property.

The  judges  present at the final included Frederic Aranda, fashion and portrait photographer; Lorenz Baumer, jewellery designer; Derek Blasberg, best-selling author and fashion writer; Fabia Di Drusco, features editor of L’Uomo Vogue; Jean-Pierre Greff, director of Geneva’s School of Art and Design; Daniella Helayel, founder of Issa; Stephen Jones, milliner; Nicholas Oakwell, couture designer; Margherita Perico, personal stylist, fashion consultant, writer and international speaker; Rupert Sanderson, shoe designer; and Stephen Webster, jewellery designer.

The video captures all the event and all the backstage preparation.
