This photo coverage was my first experience shooting a fashion show backstage back in 2019.

I was given an opportunity to collaborate with Dominican designer Jenny Polanco and her team, for the 'Aquam' apparel collection.

I remember being very nervous, but backstage has a rushed, focused environment and it served the perfect scenario to flow and feel the result of months of hard work, passion and dedication to the craft.

Hope you enjoy the photos, and looking forward to shooting more backstage once the Coronavirus pandemic is over.
