Photographing the photographers at RAFW

The Pits
I turned my camera onto the photographers at RAFW, to show the frenzy that goes on behind the scenes at a show. There were at least 20 photographers backstage at one time, all scrambling for the same pic. Generally most were well behaved, though as you can read in the well practiced Sonny's blog, it ain't what it used to be.

Out in the pit at the front of the catwalk, there were at least 50 photographers and videographers. To get a good spot, you have to arrive hours before a show, and mark your spot. Luckily I got to share a spot with the Rosemount TVC crew :)

Anyway, here are some pics, to give you an idea of what it was like working at this years RAFW. Only 340 days till next year.

I just loved watching the girls posing for other photographers.
