Next season, this is how I like to be kept updated on the access situation, sometimes, for me, it is more about calling the editors to find who they spoke to , to authorize my access, whereas here, another photographer shows me how his editors have got it done. Much better, and saves me making all these phone calls, only to leave messages anyway
Random petrol station shot, on our way out of Paris for the Sonia Rykiel show
This is how it is , models not dressed yet, lot of people milling around amongst people actually trying to get things done and it is 14H25 , and no line up , as they are not even dressed yet, what time is the next show ? 15H00 ! So you see how it becomes impossible to cover every show on the schedule
Loading up Sean C.'s car to race to the next show
Sonny..meet Sonny. Sonny Groo, with the beard in pic, is a stylist from Amsterdam, now if only we had the same name.
Photographers pit at the Chanel show. This is what the model would see, when they get to the front of the runway, pretty much the whole world taking a photo of you

Lazarro ( Sean's Assistant ) and Anna Bauer ( doing a great series of portrait shots for the national portrait gallery ) racing across the Concorde to Sean's illegally parked car, to then race of to the next show again. Thanks by the way Sean, for all the rides in between shows
Jason Lloyd Evans, backstage photographer, along for the ride to the next, he looks like he's thinking something far away from the shows
Quick tourist snap as we drive past
The room at Lanvin, pre-show
Just like us photographers, these two do the circuit around the world as well, on the left we have one of the great hairdresser and on the right, Aussie boy Cannon, who calls the shows backstage and keeps all the models in line
