Shutterstock's CEO, pictured above in the grey hoodie, tried taking celebrity photographs for an evening at the Tribeca Film Festival. Turns out, it's not as easy as it looks.

Taking photos of famous people on the red carpet is not as easy as it looks.

Jon Oringer, the founder and CEO of the stock photo agency Shutterstock, found that out recently when he stepped into the role of celebrity photographer, capturing images of Jane Fonda, Anna Wintour, and more at the opening of New York's Tribeca Film Festival on April 13.

The entrepreneur set himself up to the task in the hopes of learning more about the craft, after Shutterstock bought the editorial and celebrity photo agency Rex Features in 2015.

To learn on the job, Oringer went along to the premiere of "The First Monday in May" - a documentary about the making of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2015 exhibition, "China: Through the Looking Glass" - and took photos of famous guests upon their arrival.

Take a look at photos of his experience, from CEO to celebrity photographer, below.
