Jennifer Capriati Tennis Star

FAR from considering retirement after losing more than a year to injury, former world No. 1 Jennifer Capriati is planning a return to tennis in March.
Capriati, who has not played since withdrawing from the Australian Open last year, has targeted Miami for her comeback in March, days before her 30th birthday.
Ongoing rehabilitation from shoulder surgery will make her the biggest name missing from the women's draw at the Australian Open this year, which features eight former world No. 1s in Lindsay Davenport, Serena and Venus Williams, Kim Clijsters, Amelie Mauresmo, Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova and Justine Henin-Hardenne.

Fashion Shows in Paris 2010

You want to know my truth about shooting fashion shows? I don’t shoot them! Seriously. But I have shot them in the past, especially when I was first starting out in my career. The thing is, if you’re a fashion photographer, it’s going to come up. You’re going to get offered the gig at some point. Or a designer friend is going to need a favor and you won’t want to turn them down. Or maybe you really want to head in that direction with your career. For me, I’ve gotten to the place now where I will kindly refuse the gig because I just don’t enjoy shooting them.
I find them tedious and I hate standing around with a bunch of other photographers trying to get the “best shot” which ends up looking pretty much like the shots of the photographers standing to the left and right of me. I can’t help but feel that “paparazzi” thing either. The lighting is out of my control (and you know by now how much of a “light freak” I am.) The music is so loud sometimes, I can’t think. There’s no elbow room for error and it doesn’t pay that well. What’s the glory in all of it then? I don’t know. I would rather be sitting in the front row with a good view of the latest designs that will be strutting down the runway. I LOVE fashion design. Remember, I was originally going to become a fashion designer before I fell in love with photography. So for me, watching the show is way more fun than shooting it. BUT……..That’s just me! If you are planning on shooting a fashion show in the near future, here’s a few tips and links to some very useful posts and sites about the subject.

Online Fashion Accessories

As the executive fashion director of Style.com, it's safe to say Candy Pratts Price knows a thing or two about accessories. Lucky for us, she's decided to put her years of expertise in one beautiful book, American Fashion Accessories ($32). This Assouline edition is filled with beautiful images of accessories, many of which were created from members of the CFDA.
Photos date from the early 1900s and range from witty Hollywood hats to Madonna’s rubber bracelets. It's more than a look book, it's pop history!

Dubai Fashion Week 2010 Pictures

Tina G. Bedi? Well if you happen to be in Dubai next week she’s headed your way with her second show, showcasing her Autumn/Winter 2010 collection at Dubai International Fashion Week. The collection is called Winter Diva. “Tina wants to make a woman feel really sexy in the winter, just because its chilly, it doesn’t mean that a woman cannot feel sexy in the clothes that she wears. Every woman has a diva in her and what better way to show it than in Estinna Wear!” Sounds brilliant right?
