after the anzac day parade in sydney i went down to mark my spot on the pressbox for fashion week, a tiny space is where i am going to spend most of this week in.
Markign a spot was a crazy shit fight The official photographer and newspapers get first selection, then the rest of us bolt in and grab whats left the whole process is really crazy i was pushing people around i have just pleasantly conversed with prior to getting in.

at the main venue i got next to Harpers Bazaar which i think is pretty good


at the 2nd venue i beat VOGUE runway direction is at the top
vogue is in 3rd row i'm on 2nd right next to the official photographer (centre spot)


3rd venue, i got right behind the official photographer


i think i did very well, last year i was right on the side 3rd row

Thanks for the insight, Wendell. Fascinating stuff. And here's me just thinking that you rock up on the day and get whatever spot you get. Good luck with the shooting!

Actually, I even kinda like the first photo - it's an interesting image to me, the way the shadows work

Thanks for the insight Wendell..are you allowed to bring any step ladders

Looks pretty competitive, judging by the amount of tape you used to secure your name...

I think platform shoes are called for

i've got a pelican 1510 icase i can stand on, although ii think the people behind me may object to that

Damn Wendelt, i would need 2 of them spots just for myself.LOL Glad i dont have any of that hassles with my sport pics. Oh well we know we will see some pics soon i guess and no just how much you have to go through to get them. Well done mate.

Awesome stuff Wendell Should get a pair of stilts just to piss them off further

Hope you get some great shots. Show us a few.

Good stuff wendell - have you met David Morgan yet? Try taking a photo of him and see how long your camera lasts

Will Mark Latham be there?

Where's the toilet ?

(Interesting insight though - thanks Wendell)

Thought you may have marked your territory like dogs do !

might be a good idea to eat plenty of baked beans the day before.
that way people may be keeping further away from you on the day, allowing for clearer shots

Have you noticed how neat and tidy everybody else's signs are compared to Wendell's?

Crazy! seems exciting though,! i hope to do this one day, im 19 so i have a lot of days to go haha,

Fascinating insight Wendell, having no knowledge or experience in pro fashion stuff I had no idea it was so competitive but spose everyone's after the same good spots...

Thanks for the insight...

Can't wait to see your work from the show too

Thanks for the insight Wendell had no idea that's how it was done. Obviously no 600lb gorillas taking photos ( Where does a 600lbs gorilla stand to take photos at a fashion shoot? )
cheers
