Had my first Red Carpet shoot on the past long weekend Monday @ Jack Black’s Kung Fu Panda premiere
“yelling and waving till the person looks at you” – this was where I fail, I’m too shy to generate such attention haha – just lucked it out & managed to get all the mains by simply timing….obviously this is not a practice I should keep if I become a regular shooter for these events, going to have to get out of my comfort zone in future I think
didn’t manage to crank out the wide lens….love seeing your shots with all the photogs in a huddle around guests – can’t afford to get another body & no time to change….unfortunately I am not guaranteed publication due to shooting for an agency, so I didn’t want to take a chance in missing something

You’ve just got to grab their attention. That can be by staking out the best position in the photography pen, so you’re front and centre. Or it could be by yelling and waving till the person looks at you. Or it could be just luck.
The seasoned red carpet walkers are well trained in pausing and looking down the barrel for as many photographers as they can.

Great photos Daniel… I have a question:
In the first two pics for example, how do you get them to look directly at your camera? (Considering there’s a crowd of photographers around)
Your “guide to concert photography” is awesome BTW. Thanks!
