Wow, the publicity you would have gotten from it!
Well worth the fuel, time, PP work and effort! Should be doing it for free!

Anything for the red carpet celebrities. They love paparazzi so much!

At least they offered to pay something. PP at $20/hr is me shooting jpgs and spending 15 minutes tossing the obviously bad photos, and maybe clicking the auto button in Lightroom.

I'd have flown over from Scotland especially, for an opportunity like that...

And the lure of $20.00 an hour too...

I dunno, it might have been fun. You never know who you will meet at these things. As for being a dream job, meh. As a former male porn star, I know what dream jobs are about, and photographing people at a party is well down the list compared to some of the jobs I had.

For $20 an hour? It's not the price I googled.

Tape over the "Pentax" sign on the front of your camera though, or they may change their minds.

Is this one of those bogus contracts where you have to pay them a finders or some other type of fees?

It didn't mention how many pictures you had to email or provide.

1 picture per hour wouldn't have been bad, especially if it had an open bar, and free snacks
