I was out in Leicester Square yesterday afternoon just beginning some street photography and I noticed lots of crew setting up lights, barriers, and a red carpet. Turns out it was the UK Premiere of a new movie called 'House Of Gucci' with Lady Gaga, Al Pacino, Salma Hayek, Adam Driver and Jared Leto.

I went away to do some street photos elsewhere and returned later and waited around for a couple of hours. Security had covered all the metal barriers so you couldn't see anything. There were only narrow gaps between the metal barriers plus hundreds of people around me all with their phones on selfie sticks. I held my camera as high as I could and took some shots. Fortunately I had a lens with me with a longer focal length.

I did get to see Gaga once or twice in the flesh through the gap in the barrier so that was cool, but most were looking up at my LCD screen and hoping for the best! I'm pleased they turned out quite nice since it was difficult to see much detail when holding the camera as high up as possible and the celebs were a fair distance away from me. Was quite an exciting evening, absolutely buzzing and packed with people. Lots of "Gagaaaaa, we love you!" :D Pity Pacino didn't come.

Great shots, especially considering you were pretty much shooting blind!

I've been looking forward to this one for a while, I do like a good Ridley Scott film and Lady Gaga has been good in everything I've seen her in so far.
 
Thanks chaps! I got in touch with the national tabloids to try and sell the photos but was a bit late. But I've got a contact for The Sun now so if I get any more 'pap' type pics, I'd better send them really quickly.

No reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but elsewhere, apparently pretty good fun.

“An overwrought slog”, “a mess”, “delicious”, “absurdly enjoyable” and, simply, “very good” – that’s what the first critics lucky enough to catch Lady Gaga in action in her new film of House Of Gucci have had to say about it.
