Catwalk runwa

I will be wanting to take pictures of a model on a catwalk runway, but not close enough for flash. If you have any hints that could help me I am all ears. Any advice would be great.
Thank you

Where does it say that?

It says manual white balance, which can mean different things depending on the software used to process, often that the WB has been manually set within the raw editing software.
