[QUOTE="JudeIscariot, post: 211377, member: 15275"] I agree with this a lot. I mention here that it's a pain in the ass, but at any event, if there are other photographers there, I try to work around them and not let them get in their way. It'd be unprofessional to not be able to adapt to the situation and do my best. And having had a run-in this past weekend with a guy that did the exact opposite (he kept asking me to stop shooting because he was the "official event photographer", even though I was there for the band, whom I am the photographer for). All in all, this guy just gets upset when other photographers show up (he claims we're all "in his way", but a guy who set up a few lights on the side of the building to shoot a few portraits can't be in his way?), as it turns out, because it makes him nervous and throws off his game... It was completely unprofessional and reiterated how important it is to try to work alongside other people - I would never want to act like that to anybody, even if they were in my way for some reason. Somehow me and the other guy there both managed to work around the "official photographer" without problems... [/QUOTE]
