Tora: Hehe yep, i'm beginning to wonder now afterwards if they were not actual robots.

The way it works by getting so close to the subjects as i do on various events is because i always get full access like all press photographers do. I constantly speak to the managers, staff and people involved in the events i visit and we discuss things like where i can stand, what they would like me to shoot and so on.. and then when it's all over i might just get lucky and sell some pics from the event to them. I'm not working for the press (
yet) but by being able to talk well i can get in to pretty much anything i want to shoot. A strong and diverse portfolio of course also helps a little..
I like the last two of your portraits the most, good work!
