Not every photographer at the Disney World theme parks is a mindless drone clicking a neutered camera set on automatic. Though, some of the shooters I talked with had no clue what shutter speed or aperture they were using, there are many true pros shooting for the mouse. These “real” shooters are often used to cover weddings, corporate events and celebrity/VIP meet and greets.
It wouldn’t be such a bad life, getting to walk around a beautiful resort, documenting people’s special moments… I spotted this guy working with a new bride as I walked back to my room. It reminded me of an extended talk I had with another photog at the resort a few years ago. It sounded like these guys got to shoot a lot of fun stuff.
