Mariah Carey is a red carpet robot…

Posted by alpowers on October 9, 2008

Wow. just wow… So remember how i said i had to shoot Mariah Carey last week. Well it went terribly. We waited on the red carpet for her for nearly 2.5 hours. Press release said promptly at 10pm. She arrived and walked the carpet at 12:30. Then she didn’t even go inside for longer than 5 min before dashing away. All the while she was supposed to pose and get some shots for a press kit. She didn’t bother to stay for that. I still got paid but still what a freakin DIVA!!!!

While on the carpet she posed very awkwardly. It was weird, hands on waist and Panned her body as if on a specific axis… It was quite strange.

She was like a water sprinkler head.

She didnt have a personality at all on the carpet, not a word from her.

Mariah Carey is a Diva, lets see if we can get a laugh from her.

So I just got word from my boss that i will be shooting an event in which Mariah Carey hosts… Personally i am a big fan of musical talent and she can really wale. However i think im going have some fun that night, I have taken photos of her before and she is a real “DIVA”. Meaning you have to shoot her from certain angles, make sure the lighting is perfect, and she asks to see them. If you know me, i am a fun loving guy, whom always smiles on the red carpet, always playful but always professional. I am set on wearing a Mariah Carey tshirt that night, and this is what its gonna look like…

I have worn a “Rocky” shirt to take photos of Sly Stallone, and a “Suits Suck” shirt to shoot the gang of Entourage. It usually makes them laugh and look at me. So i am hoping for the same response from Mariah. She will either be very flattered or down right mean…. Make sure to check back to see what happens…
