Does anyone use, or know where to buy a generic "photographer" badge which ideally would be an item of clothing, which can be worn to take the edge off the "Why is that guy swinging from the candelabra / lying in the gutter" sentiment that arises when jostling (like a fitting epileptic) for prime shooting position?

Do you mean something like this? http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/2908/mg3430zr3.... Events usually give these out, although the duration can vary. I heard someone refer to the Goodwood Photographer vest as 'gold dust', as there are only 50 of them to go around the 300 or so photographers there. Other events may be different

Yes, like that, but without branding, something generic. A plain t-shirt of sorts would be perfect. I posted on the off-chance that perhaps a company somewhere offers such items for sale.

You could always create your own T shirt (photobox) etc. I do so each year for the local fete.

What he said. I had a brainwave as I was dozing off last night for a way to earn some cash during the Fringe. One part of which is some "official" looking clobber biggrin

following which, Famous Graham will once again transmutate into a new form, becoming... Peddling Graham! hehe

Id like to blend in unseen, so no high-vis vests for me. Id rather it read "event photographer" or something equally mundane and boring, no one likes the keen amateur getting in your way, but an event photographer, "of course sir, sorry to be in your way, go right ahead" smile

Cheers for the link Steve, I'll make something up and order a T smile

I have a hi-vis bib with 'PRESS' on the back, works a treat smile
