Staff photographer Lee Hoagland thought to take a step back from the Abu Dhabi Film Festival red carpet and gives us a view of the media machine in action. In print, on television and online, you see tight pictures of celebrities looking their best, answering questions like "Who are you wearing?" and "What's your latest project?" But behind the scenes, you can see how long the carpet is, how many times they pose and answer questions and why arrivals start hours before the show.
