You usually don´t see what is past the end of the runway at fashion shows. It´s this! A small area where 30-50 photographers try to fit inside and get the best shot possible. Many times you are pointing your lens through the space between 3 other photographer´s hands, shoulders, or elbows!
Photographers / Agencies mark their spots before the show begins. Obviously DPA (largest german photo / news agency), Associated Press, and Reuters are at the front. You can also see Action Press and Getty Images in the photo.
Where was I shooting from?
During the fashion show, you see how competetive and seriously photographers take their work. Some are freelance and others have a daily salary. There are often arguements and disagreements:
"You are in my way!"
"I was here first!"
"Hello? Can you move so I can get a shot?" Share
Interesting! And indeed something you usually don't see. Amazing that some good photographs actually come out of this :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Joao I know exactly what you mean about space for photographers at fashion shows. I have a feeling that the situation is managed in favour of the big agencies. However, what I find more annoying is the lighting conditions. Not to mention the use of flash guns by supposedly pros during the catwalk. Anyway, great image as usual. All the best Lawrence
