GoboFoto & Seattle Fashion Week

I remember I started taking photos since I was like in 3rd grade. My dad would adjust all of the setting on a camera for me, all I had to do was to focus and press the shutter and Waaahhhhhhh LAAAA.... I was a photographer.Once I got a little bit older, like 6th grade or something, I would go to school with a point a shoot camera to took photos of my friends, objects, just about anything that looked "interesting" to me.I took B&W photography & darkroom when I was in high school and really did enjoy the photography a lot more. One morning I was watching TV and saw a Art Institute of Seattle 's commercial and decided to check it out. After a tour of the school and talked to few people, I decided to pursue further with with photography. So I moved to Seattle for the Commercial Photography program, focus on Fashion and Editorial Photography.

In 2003, a model friend of mine, Amy, invited to a fashion show what she was in and asked me if I was interested to take some photos of her. After that, I got more involved with fashion shows, got to go to the backstage to see how it was done, met some people, mainly models, designers, makeup artists. Then about 2 years ago, I wanted to give fashion show production a try but I want to do something that no one else was doing in Seattle so I decided to organizing a fashion week here in Seattle. So I found Seattle Int'l Fashion Week(tm) . Facts is there isn't a fashion week in Seattle and it doesn't make any sense AT ALL that we don't have one. We got all the talents (designers, manufactures, models, makeup artists, hair stylists and other creative people) we should have an event that showcase all of these talents.I would like to give a shout out to my wonder SIFW Team...Nic , Elaine and Angie Nic -an awesome designer and SIFW Models Coordinator Elaine -Event Coordinator and Executive Producer Assistant.
