Press Photographers' Flash Units (camera‑mounted / handheld light housings)

Clusters of palm‑sized metal flash housings mounted on handheld press still‑cameras, each emitting a brief, searing white burst that pinches pupils and throws hard shadows. The bulbs fire in a staccato rhythm as photographers shoulder cameras behind the ropes; the bursts momentarily overexpose cheeks, freeze micro‑expressions, and force heads and gazes to snap toward the lens, physically driving attention in the crowded Mural Room.
