I'm the guy who created a similar thread last week. Shooting the show was a lot of fun, and the stuff I got out of it was: 1. Shoot when both of the model's feet are on the ground. 2. Flash is vital. 3. So are extra batteries, because when the clothes get more interesting, your flash is getting slower and slower and you have to wait longer before another flashed shot. (I used a 430ex) 4. Autofocus on the constantly refocus mode. Yeah, I wasn't, that was just a boneheaded move on my part. 5. Faster lenses are key. I was wishing the entire time for a 70-200 f/2.8 because my f/4 was just not fast enough. 6. Get there beforehand, ask the light guys what they hell they're planning on doing with the lights, and figure out how using the flash is going to work. (The place I went had a white screen in back with a projector displaying bright white and the designer's name on it. Cast some terrible fucking shadows.) 6a. If you can get someone to stand on the end of the runway you can begin preparing your shots then instead of fucking around for the first few models. 7. Bring a tripod just in case you can find an amazing shot location so you can just claim it.
It was a lot of fun to shoot, but it's fucking hard, so good luck.
