Paparazzi

Paparazzi (sing. paparazzo) are photographers who tirelessly hunt celebrities, public figures and their families to take candid¹ pictures at а compromising moment. The word paparazzi became popular after the 1960 film La dolce vita directed by Federico Fellini. One of its characters is a news photographer named Paparazzo. Fellini took the name from an Italian dialect word for a noisy, buzzing mosquito.

What began as simple street photography is now a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. A paparazzo who wants to make the big bucks, must be in the right place at the right time to get the shot so he works like a private detective. He has a network of paid informers in restaurants, shops and salons. In many cases, he may bribe people who work for the star. Many ethical, legal and privacy issues arise out of this questionable business. Some countries restrict the paparazzi activities by passing laws and curfews and by arranging events in which they are specially allowed to take photographs of the notable people.

Most stars try to avoid the annoying paparazzi or fight back. However, many think it is worse when no one recognizes them. So, sometimes the arranger of an event, in order to make the guests feel important, may hire the actors who pretend they are paparazzi.

Technological developments in cameras, such as higher quality telephoto lenses and high speed films, help paparazzi shoot their subjects from afar.Palm-sized cameras are effectively used in secret photography. They make use of d igital cameras and transmission methods for rapid distribution of the pictures.

Paparazzi sell their work to dozens of magazines and newspapers that publish embarrassing and provocative photos to attract more readers and subscribers. Many paparazzi feel that they are helping celebrities and public figures in general by increasing their popularity. As our hunger for celebrity snapshots grows, so do the prices of these photos. Photographers often earn large sums for a particularly good, or revealing picture.
