Description
so ... imagine ...75 photographers -- not paparazzi, just so you know -- with about 68 of them screaming. i mean fucking screaming.
they want "the eye contact" shot.
they don't care about publicity for the corporate sponsors.
they want stock.
they yell.
they verbally abuse publicists.
i've watched and listened.
although they are NOT paparazzi -- they're referred to as press line photographers as paparazzi make unauthorized photos whilst following around their prey -- but, that said, you wouldn't believe the roar.
especially when someone is always in the news. mischa. lindsay. paris. i know ... they're not gwyneth or nicole ... but ... in terms of fodder for the weeklies and monthlies ... the public can't get enough.
you have to understand. the collective weeklies will publish about eight photographs from this night. seventy-five photographers. eight photos.
and then there's the material that john, vespa and myself which will be "different."
like this one:
[link]
people magazine liked it and the reason i make note of it ... is that it's not a nipple slip ... it's not something defamatory. it's just a girl.
arriving on a red carpet.
telling the seventy-five to be quiet ...
whilst she says hello to a friend.
she was actually saying, "guys ... please ... just a moment."
because she knew that i'm doing something different.
that ... and i've known her since she was 16.
she looked amazing last night in both this and when she walked the runway during a fashion show.
the tabloid people ... the online gossip freaks ... they can say anything they'd like...
this is a nice girl.
what the fuck is a twenty-something supposed to do with access to everything ...
stay home and fucking knit?
puhlease.
she's gonna party.
she's gonna hookup.
she's gonna have a hangover.
she's just like us.
unless all you do is sit at home and knit.
canon e1dm2. 24-70/2.8L. 1/50th or so at f/5.0 or so. minor levels. minor contrast. always a bit of unsharp mask to take care of what the low-pass filter does to a photo. yes ... a bit off-camera flash with ttl cord.

Your photos really are distinctive. I had a different name here a few years ago, and as soon as I saw this in the list of new photos from a group I follow, I figured it was by you.

I love the story that goes with this.
I've been to a single small movie premiere with a single actor attending. And the photographers are insane. No wonder he looked scared shitless in half the photos of the event.

oh you better go check ;D
if you wanna know details about why it takes me about an hour to finish a meal then go ahead but I dont think tung piercing is an interesting topic anyways so hmm.. how should I explain my slowness. I'm slow! Especially when dA takes a fucking hour to upload 3 mb pic and it has already taken me hours to edit it.

I agree with what you said in your description, and Ive always believed that. People are too hysterical and over-concerned with it comes to celebrities lives. why can't anyone separate work from personal life? i also don't understand whats so amazing about celebrities they are JUST people, just well-known

It's really crazy how someones life earnings depend on a shot. It takes a split second and being in the right place at the right time. I love this one, it shows how important she is. I admire her, I could not face a crowd that big.

I know you'd here this alot, but your job is honestly amazing. And it's great that your photography is actually art and it still gets out there for everyone to see.
haha I really like it how you can see all the other photographers in the back, and she's putting her hand in their direction and only smiling at your camera : ]
