Miss Chinese Cosmos 2011

Been away from here for a while due to some other tasks on hand, but I’m back for more photos. I had the opportunity to shoot the Miss Chinese Cosmos Finals 2011 at the Palace of the Golden Horses about a month ago. It was a good event except the setup wasn’t photography friendly. They had a platform at the end of the hall but nothing much can be done unless you have a 500mm lens, or resort to cropping.

Most of the shooters either ended up sitting just right in front of the stage or standing right behind the judges table that has a table lamp blocking the middle of the stage. The competition however was quite good and had a few contestants from Thailand and Singapore. However the event was won by my student Natalie Chiaw.
