Story

Long Story Short worked as the official event photography partner for Melbourne Fashion Week. 

Runways

In order to creatively capture the biggest and most exciting runways of the program, we had multiple photographers present at each event. This allowed us to shoot from a variety of different angles and catch every single moment of the shows.

Backstage

So much of the action happens backstage. We always have photographers stationed behind the scenes to capture the hair, makeup and styling processes before models hit the runway.

Street Style

At M/FW, attendee’s outfits are often just as amazing as those seen on the runway. We had street style photographers present at every show to capture the best and most inspiring looks in the crowd.

Event Coverage

We tasked our photographers with capturing the exciting atmosphere and unique feel of each event they covered. This included shooting the venues, live musical performances and crowds, as well as the food, drinks and swag provided by M/FW’s commercial partners.
