Katy Perry, Visualization, and Meditation — How 1 Photographer Preps For the Met Gala

"I really dislike the yelling. It's what everyone associates with the chaos of the red carpet, but in my experience it's not necessary. Once someone starts doing it, others join in. I prefer to go a different route to grab someone's attention.

My son gave me a blinking light that is now a part of my gear I bring along with me. I can attach it to my equipment when I believe it's needed. I've seen that light connects with people better than anything I could have shouted at them, and some celebrities seem to appreciate better a non-yelling method.

With anything I do, I am trying to make eye contact with the person coming by. That'll always be the best way to make a connection with someone else."
