Hello Readers!

This week, I was going to write about my experience in Tokyo on the fabulous USC Marshall School of Business Learning about International Commerce (LInC) trip over spring break. However, my iPhone 7+ is unfortunately glitching out, with the battery being un-chargeable, but no worries- I'll recover the photos at the Apple Store this week and then post the pics for you guys as soon as I get them, I promise!

I have decided to write about the USC FIA Fashion Show that I shot right before break, because, well, it was awesome. When I got asked to be the University of Southern California's Fashion Industry Association Accredited Photographer for their fashion show, I was thrilled. I could not be more honored- it featured HUGE brands like Show Me Your Mumu, Cosmogyral, The Stylist LA, Lore, Nicolita Swimwear, Drip Swimwear, SIWY, and Stephanie Sleisman, among others. I believe that it's very important for brands to be both stylish and wearable. And these brands are all quite that. The models are of all different races, sizes, and backgrounds. I love seeing diversity in runway shows, especially considering fashion's extremely homogenous and exclusive past. It's refreshing to see so many different types of women- some of whom, nonetheless, are close friends of mine- absolutely slaying!

I had the best time working with these incredible models on the runway. It was incredible to be involved in a completely student-produced show. Let's celebrate glamour, fashion, and up-and-coming talent more often. Below are some of my favorite shots. Don't forget, you can book me for professional photography/videography shoots at: amanda@westxphoto.com, and check out my portfolio at: westxphoto.com.
