Playful Street Photo Crew Wanted for a Staged NYC Bit

What’s involved

Working on a lighthearted staged street performance in Manhattan and need a small group willing to play paparazzi for about an hour. Here's the idea: one person walks through a few public spots around the city, and a group of "photographers" trails behind snapping pictures, calling out, and hyping up the moment like they've just spotted someone famous. Think red-carpet energy, but on a regular sidewalk. It's all in good fun and totally consensual — nobody outside the group is bothered, no blocking sidewalks, no trespassing. What you'd actually be doing: - Following along through a set walking route - Taking a ton of photos and acting genuinely excited - Playing along with the "spotted a celebrity" bit - Moving as a group and taking simple direction on timing You don't need to be a professional photographer — a good phone camera works, though a real camera (DSLR, mirrorless, anything with a flash) is a nice bonus, so mention it when you reach out. What matters more is energy and being able to commit to the bit without breaking character. Looking for people who are 18 or older, comfortable being out and about in public, reliable, and up for walking around the city for about an hour while staying in the spirit of it. This works well if you want to bring a friend or two — a small crowd sells the effect better than one or two people. Planned for late August. Pay is $20/hour per person, half up front and half when we wrap. Reply with a bit about yourself and whether you'd be coming solo or with others.
