The collaboration between MODO and Photography Society is legendary. It has helped me believe in myself, as my inability to focus on one thing at a time suddenly calmed down as I looked through the lens, and tried to make the world see what I saw. The first time I experienced this was the Halloween Photowalk with MODO, and once I started, I could not stop- studio shoots, more photowalks; come rain or shine (literally, these models don't mess about), I'd always be excited to learn about how I need to adapt to the different styles offered by the incredible makeup, outfit and themes conjured up by the MODO team. Having worked backstage and on the runaway at this year's fashion show, I really appreciate and understand the work I have to deliver to reflect the immense effort put into every stich and sew by designers, as MODO is more than just the final look. MODO is about capturing this effort through the power of photography, and from following the brilliant Songju's work, I am confident I can celebrate the designers, makeup artists and models through my lens. I have also fostered excellent connections with the community, especially with models and designers. I have watched the creation of all 4 different outfits by a duo in this year's fashion show, and understand what is expected of me in terms of commitment level.
