Photographers in The Pit at London Fashion Week 2009

The Pit – it’s a good place to be if you want to get the best shots of fashion.  It’s a bad place to be if you don’t like cramped spaces and sweaty armpits.

Whilst most photographers at London Fashion Week aim their cameras at the models I decided to aim my camera back at the guys and gals in The Pit.

The photographers get early access to get set up in a tightly marked out area. Then the show doesn’t start for maybe 30 minutes (at a good show).  As soon as the music starts the models come out and the camera shutters are non stop…click click click click click…it’s crazy!

30 minutes later this show is over.  As quick as a flash (no pun intended) they all pack up and run to get set up at the next show. This happens all day.  Yikes!
