If there is some other official photographer taking pictures, is it
possible to take a similar pic after he takes a picture of whatever
exhibits.
That way, he can get official pictures and you can get similar but your own
pictures that you can share.
You can requst him to use his lighting and other setup and just pic up his
frame and click. Most likely he will not object if you do some social
engineering for this.

Just a hacker thought ;-)
