Most famous person who have Photographed!

Dodgykeeper

For me it would have to be the Greatest Footballer on the Planet, Lionel Messi!

Post pics of yours!

For me, Slash, although my experience of photographing Nuno Bettoncourt tops it as he came for drinks with us after and even sang to me it is most definitely Slash.

magicbastarder

uh.. brian cowen.

the most famous person i've ever had my photograph taken *with* is slightly better - neil armstrong.

thebaz

i find the whole idea of modern fame, intrigueing , though messi is a bit special

most famous person i photographed ? , probably Gerry Adams , certainly the most recognisable figurehead

Paddy@CIRL

I think it'd have to be Shane Lynch who was kind enough to lend his time for a college project for me. A nicer man you could not meet !

Thecageyone

Not really snapped anyone massive ... yet.

Simon fowler from Ocean colour scene is the biggest name to date:



Only had the 17-50mm on me at this acoustic gig, managed to get in nice and close though.

AR - i like that shot of Arsene (except for his fecking anorak) - i shot Mary Lou a few years ago at a Republican memorial

DBIreland

Tom Brady - New England Patriots Quarterback, probably the most famous player in the NFL

Taken on a point and shoot across the stadium, hand held...

Borderfox

Must be some photoshop on Mary Lou's election poster

mehfesto

Either:

Fiddy Cent


Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day)


Win Butler (Arcade Fire)


Or Hayley Williams (Paramore / getting her baps out on twitter)


Honestly don't know who's the most famous. Flickr Stats for Hayley are miles ahead, but that's probably because she's hot.

an unfortunate choice of words?

I Shot Cowen.....



....and Big Jack!

I've never photographed anybody well known. The most famous people I've been photographed with have all been politicians. My son took a pic of me with Sammy Wilson, so I'll count that as a score in this thread for my DNA even if not for me.

the_monkey

Patrick Stewart, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Tim Henman - sorry famous people ... Lleyton Hewitt, Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams, Carlos Moya...

must dig them up tho

Tiriel

DotOrg

lots of bands like coldplay, james brown, metallica but most worldwide famous is beyonce i reckon

Fionn

the master!!! :rolleyes:

irish147

my first big star was the great bill clinton, when he was president

PCPhoto

have also photographed Clinton .... will try dig out some of the pics.

also photographed, Nelson Mandela, Arnie Swartzenegger, Helena Christensen, Naoimi Campbell, Anna Kournikova, Tyra Banks, Rosanna Davison, U2, Green day,Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, .... will make a better list later ... have loads of names of people I've photo'd ...... cant decide which is most famous.

nicest person for me to chat with was Anna Kournikova - expected her to be a bit bitchy.

AnimalRights

PC Photo obviously your most famous person is Nelson Mandela by a country mile.....

He was an inspiration to millions of people around the world, he would be more well known in each and every country and he also will go down in history as the guy who wore the trendiest shirts ever!

City-Exile

Yummy!

Trigger76

Thanks to PC PHoto I got to photograph and meet a proper Irish hero and Champion in every sense of the word.


Bernard Dunne (1 of 1) by Trigger76, on Flickr


It was a while ago now, I like to think Ive come on a bit since :cool:

CabanSail

This is Dr Philip Nitschke who is probably more famous in Australia. I met him when he visited Dublin last year. He is a campaigner for Voluntary Euthanasia.



I am not counting shots at gigs etc.

trooney

As far as most people here would know, mine would be Laurent Garnier. But I've done a whole load more other producers who would be just as well known within techno circles.

pete4130

Photographed or snapped/gig shot are two different things in my opinion. how many thousands of people snap bands at gigs compared to people who actually have the proper chance to shoot someone thats famous, unless of course they are a dedicated gig photographer.

I did some work for a radio station in the past and was lucky enough to shoot some relatively famous people and missed out, due to work commitments on some really famous people, didn't get some shots of some sh!t hot famous people because they were awkward (The Kings Speech springs to mind....).
All very interesting at the time but became a bit monotonous after a while.

I shot PJ Gallagher, Karl Spain, Pat McDonal, and a bunch of other comics, specifically for our fund raiser, in a private room. The pics turned out crap, they were just for the website, but I still shot them I guess. If you would call them famous, I don't know.

I'd love to meet Brendan Gleeson, my fav Irish actor. John hurt pretty cool too, I met his wife, but sadly not the man himself.

jpb1974

I shot JR.

Brendan Gleeson is a very intimidating man by his nature and stature and at the same time very comforting to listen to, very very educated and intelligent and very proud. A great person to meet, listen to and shoot. A real pleasure.

John Hurt, again an incredible man to meet (on a side note my uncle delivered one of his children many years ago). He is a very discreet, discerned character and didn't speak too openly of his realationship with Oliver Reed. It seemed obvious they were great friends but he couldn't be drawn on any details about any outrageous stories regarding their friendship directly.

Both a real pleasure to meet, listen to and have the opportunity to shoot.

homerun_homer

Possibly Bret Easton Ellis since he's a world renowned controversial author.



I've photographed loads of bands but can't figure who would be the most famous.

Oh and I took a photograph John Lithgow in New York's Central Park once, don't have a digital version though.

LOL

Hecklar

Rosanna Davidson, Think thats about it.

colblimp

Don't know how this is going to go down, but I photographed Prince Charles in Helston, Cornwall a few years ago. I don't have a digital version but I might be able to scan a pic in. After saying that, I'm not sure how it would go down...

Hello Mary Lou
Good-bye heart
sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you
well i knew,Mary Lou we'd never part
so hello Mary lou
good-bye heart

You passed me by one sunny day
flashed those big brown eyes my way
and ooh I wanted you forever more
now I'm not one who gets around
swear my feet stuck to the ground
even though I never did meet you before

I said "Hello, Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you
Well I knew Mary Lou
we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou
good-bye heart
well hello Mary Lou
good-bye heart
I say hello Mary Lou
Good-bye heart

I hope he had his clothes on. For your sake.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Wilson

"Away from politics, Wilson is a keen gardener and motorbike enthusiast as well as taking an interest in animals and birds.
In May 1996, the Sunday World newspaper published a series of candid holiday photographs showing Wilson and his girlfriend naked."

I shot the Sheriff! but I didn't shoot the Deputy ...

Get me coat ...

I've shot all of U2 individually and as a group. I've edited Kate Bush, Springsteen, Dylan, Elvis Costello and elected not to show the world a shot of Maggie Thatcher inspecting the bogeys in her hanky for a news piece in Dublin Castle in 1990. why ever not? Snotgate.

I've shot a session with Emma Waldron which was fun. but fame, schmame! It doesn't matter a whole lot to me, the best pics I've taken are of un-famous folks.
