RenegadePR, a public relations and photo representation agency based in California, 
hosted Renegade Photo Shoot 2007: NYC on the streets of Manhattan October 17. This inaugural shoot brought together an eclectic mix of photographers – wedding, fashion, beauty, commercial, sports, environmental and paparazzi – to shoot varied assignments at five locations.
Over the course of an afternoon, photographers trekked on foot and by yellow cab to sites around Manhattan. At each stop, an expert shooter outlined the assignment and provided tips and tricks for the best capture. Photographers used their own gear as well as equipment provided by Lexar Media, Nikon and California Sunbounce light enhancers. Participants also participated in the creation of an Adesso Album memory book.
“The cultural diversity found on New York City streets, mixed with the Renegade team enabled me to learn different skills and open my eyes to new ways of photographically capturing imagery,” said Helene DeLillo of Helene DeLillo Photography. “As a creative person it’s essential to stay inspired and open to new concepts and visual ideas. Shooting side by side with other pros that I would not normally have the chance to work with makes this program so valuable.”
DeLillo served as a lead photographer and coordinated a beauty shoot with Philip Stark of Philip Stark Studio at the 2 Stops Brighter venue. She arranged for a professional model styled by makeup artist Mark DeHaven.
October 17 shoot assignments and lead photographers:
Where’s the Water Taxi, Eric Neilsen .
Chinatown Park, Alicia Hansen .
Shoot Like a Paparazzo, Henry Flores .
Street Fashion, Gisela Prishker and Mike Larson .
Studio Beauty, Helene DeLillo and Philip Stark .
Also on the shoot were E. Sapwater, Brad Elterman, California Sunbounce light enhancers CEO Wolfgang-Peter Geller, Sam Posten and Kathy Leistner.
Flores, cofounder of Buzz Foto, a Los Angeles-based agency, showed the group authentic angles and etiquette for working with A-list subjects. “Part of the paparazzo experience is dealing with the rush and mass of other shooters waiting to capture that great shot of a celebrity,” said Flores. “Then too it’s important to have an idea of hot locations. We were fortunate to catch Canadian actress, model and designer and her husband at a café.”
