Photographer Spots at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin


View Larger

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
