Despite whatever other strengths or flaws in this photo, I expect it will get killed for (a) not putting the camera in a more prominent place, and (b) featuring a cinematographer rather than a photographer.

FYI, my photographer is the man at extreme left, looking down into a video camera. As I anticipated, many couldn't find him or considered the whole set-up DNMC. I'm disappointed I didn't get last place.

Call me an idiot... I don't see the photographer... no matter how many times I look. *sigh* Perhaps the cord is the clue??? If so, it's not enough, IMHO, to identify him as a photographer. (not voting)
Is a film/videographer the same as a photographer? I guess it might be splitting hairs. Still, he/they are not really the subjects here. The actors are.
i had to really look for the photographer in this, and i really dont feel as though he is the focus of the image and therefore this DNMC. however, it is an otherwise great capture.
