London, Paris, Sydney, New York, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi—I documented their journeys for Etihad Airways, the global sponsor of major fashion weeks at the time.
The project was called Runway to Runway—airport runway to fashion runway—and it was exactly that.
Planes, backstage chaos, early mornings, fittings, hotel lobbies, and long haul flights all through my lens.
People used to ask what it was like traveling with models, hanging out for probably more hours than you should with someone you just met. But honestly, I loved it.
Getting to know the person behind the face you’ve seen in global campaigns or walking the world’s biggest runways—it reminded me that behind all the glamor, there’s just a person with nerdy hobbies and mostly the same aspirations as me or anyone else.
I never shared much from that time, but I shot a lot.
Here’s a look back.
Some of these moments were chaotic, others were surprisingly calm—but they all happened in the in-between.
Not on the runway, not in the campaign. Just before. Just after.
It feels good to finally share them.
