There is a lot of work that goes into being a paparazzo, or so I think. Snapping exclusive celebrity photographs can command huge sums, but can a photographer have a guarantee of steady income?
Really? Wow! I would absolutely love to be a paparazzoI don't think I would want to be a paparazzo. First, they are annoying, although they could make a lot of money, and second, I wouldn't want to get attacked by a celebrity's security guard LOL.
Their nature of work involves overdoing everything. Paparazzi made a kill back in the day, but nowadays, that sort of celebrity hype isn't so pronounced. Yes, the public minds following their every detail but capturing a star in a secret location will not generate much excitement.Really? Wow! I would absolutely love to be a paparazzoI think their job is pretty cool! Well, as long as they don't overdo it.
Which is why if a star wants the publicity they just hire their own photographer. It keeps them in the public eye, which they need to do to help stay relevant, and they aren't annoyed by someone jumping out of a bush or something.Their nature of work involves overdoing everything.

Which borders on stalking if you think about it. As I mentioned to Editor about hiring their own, if they do that, tell the public they did it and the paparazzi still hassle them, they can call the cops and claim stalking. They wouldn't be entirely wrong.Imagine the adrenaline rush, anxiety, and alertness that almost define a paparazzo's daily routine? I think that the golden years of paparazzi are way behind us. Nonetheless, anyone pursuing this route needs to know where famous people live, master their network, or where they shop, and so on.
Back in the day, it seemed like paparazzi had an easy time tracking celebrities. There was less security, and they didn't mind their photos taken without consent. Nowadays, it looks like an intrusion on their privacy.Which is why if a star wants the publicity they just hire their own photographer.
