i'm firmly convinced that photographers are painters with ADD.

it has nothing to do with this photo.

i was shooting for maxim at their hot 100 party in vegas. i remember when i'd see paris and nicky ... like a couple of years ago ... and think, "what the fuck are they doing on the red carpet." nonetheless ... i usually shot them.

now ... it's usually just paris. and i still love shooting her. you should hear the arrivals area when she arrives. it sounds like an angry mob of frenchmen who miss being in their capital and see it for the first time in 10 years.

i had a shot in mind ... that if i got lucky ... i could get the incessant flashes ... very happy that i got it.

canon eos 1d mark 2, 28-70 2.8L ... probably a 30th at 5.6 or 6.3 ... 400 iso. color stripped with custom actions.

Wonderful angle. (:
I will never understand why she leans so far back all the time, though.

just wondering but with the fashion/celeb shots, is it commission work or do they pay you for the quality of result?

great angle! Can't say I like Paris, but I like how you didn't just get her, but also got the photographers. Love the 2 guys' expressions (the two that have the flash between them) :-)
