I’m rough on technology. As my parents will happily tell you, I’ve always been the sort of boy who breaks everything he touches. Even other people’s stuff. (Let this by a formal apology to the many people who’s phones I have dropped and who’s screens I have cracked.) So it won’t come as a surprise that, after dropping my camera numerous times, it’s a little messed up. But, it turns out, in a good way. Now it does this thing where it starts filming video while the flash charges and the lens auto-focuses. I discovered this when I downloaded the images from Paris fashion week and there was a mysterious video at the end. Annoyed at first, when I watched it I realized it was the most genius thing in the world. What I had recorded was tthe breath, the hesitation, that second before an image is taken when someone is pulling their best camera face. And, as I discovered when I watched the video, I would heckle my subjects. Turns out I love my piece of crap camera. So, without out further ado, watch the moments before I took pictures of (in order of appearance): Karl Lagerfeld, Amanda Harlech, Eugenie Niarchos, Diane von Furstenberg, Olivier Zahm, Natalia Vodianova, Vanessa Traina, Hamish Bowles, Karlie Kloss, Bianca Brandolini, Coco Brandolini, Joan Smalls, Erin Wasson, Alison Mosshart, Natasha Poly, Leigh Lezark, Anna dello Russo, Cara Delevingne, Dasha Zhukova, Henry Holland, Pixie Geldolf, Irina Lazareanu, Riccardo Tisci, Arizona Muse, Bernice Bejo, Suzy Menkes and Alber Elbaz
