Al Pacino wins prestigious Film Festival award

Getting close to stars such as Al Pacino is never easy, the movie Icon is pictured at the Venice Film Festival in Italy where he was presented with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory To The Filmmaker 2011 Award.

Martin a London based photographer said: “We’re basically over in Venice for two weeks. It’s very demanding but great fun also. Most photographers are paid only their travel expenses so we have to basically make our money back from the sales of pictures.

The greatest thing about snapping in Venice is that the celebs are far less inhibited than in London.”
