I would say check out 3 Basic Rules for Candid Photography and Capture a Stranger Street Style. I would take candid shots for back stage to capture when everyone is more relaxed and possibly having fun, then take the serious pictures when they are about to hit the runway or are on the runway. You would possibly be showing a Plain Jane turn into Cinderella!

Probably shutter at 8 seconds. Definitely ISO 25 and aperture at f/1.2 -- that should set you up pretty good. Every shot will come out perfect like this, no matter what lighting conditions you have or depth of field you need. Yep...the magical setting to get every picture juuuust right.
