I’m still a bit iffy on the extent to which these should or would be worth putting on sale, but I have put a couple of shots out there:
Charlize Theron ‘Starlet’
... I actually can’t quite get so blase as to dismiss nonchalantly the fact that I’ve actually snapped a shot of Megan Fox!
Katherine Heigl at the premeire of “The Ugly Truth” (where ironically nobody you’d call ugly was actually in attendance..)
Clive Owen ‘Diligence’
Nicole Kidman, ‘Our Nic’ at the premiere of Baz Luhrman’s “Australia”
Al Pacinio, ‘You Can Call Me Al’
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, ‘X-Files Premiere’
That Zac Efron dude from High School Musical and … that. (Ideally, you need to get yourself a sound recording of a thousand girls all screaming crazily to go with this print and fully appreciate it.)
and….
The only shot to now be signed by the star in question (and the security guard on the right later saw the shot and laughed at being in it)
And here’s the calendar again, just in case you couldn’t be bothered scrolling all the way to the top to view it:
Jamie Lee
I love your style when it comes to these premiere shots!

Thanks 8)) They do provide a pleasing distraction and I’m always surprised at how generally accessible and pleasant people at these things are!

I’m curious why you write on your profile page that you’re not the papparazzi. is the difference that you’re hired for premieres where papparazzi follow and hover everywhere for a shot?

LOL! Nope… I’m not a Paparazzi because I’m a civilian taking photos on a Pentax K10D, and I do it because I have the opportunity (not because I have any particular compulsion to sell any of my photos commercially!) but I do enjoy it a lot
