Pictures

Where do Paparazzi buy their cameras and how much do they normally cost?
Also:
How much can they get per picture of celebrities?
‘They’ meaning the cameras.

They buy them in the same places as any other photographers buy them. In shops.

They cost anything from a few hundred to thousands of pounds/dollars depending on the make and model.

They can get anything from a couple of pounds/dollars per picture to many thousands if they get "the" picture.

The offered rate for a princess DI shot topless on holiday was a couple of million.

i saw it some years back, i think its a studio picture, not a paparazzi one, his hand is on the low part of the picture

i don’t know if its a magazine picture or a cover from a CD

any help will be very appreciated

She’d start whinning, because nobody was paying attention to her.

I live in Los Angeles California so somewhere around here please.
Serious answers please…And it may be a horrible way to make money but…if they don’t want to be stars then they should get out of Hollywood.

what a horrible way to make money

If you do choose that path, make sure you watermark your photos, and do not hand anything original over. The internet is a good place to start looking, but if you see a fellow paparazzi just ask him where he works, or if he might wanna buy some pics and give him your #, if theyre good, he will come back for more.

Ill explain. They take photos like crazy that end up in magazines? The photos go for alot of money, but who buys these magazines. And for what purpose do you buy them for? They say that the paparazzi does celebreties a favor, but I dont need to see a picture of celebreties to make me watch there movies or listen to there music. Just curious.

There are a lot of different factors that keep the paparazzi in business. The photos that they take do go for a lot of money just for a single photo. Because with certain celebrities you can make $30,000 + per photo, I guess the greed is there. The photographers are able to make a decent living off of a single photo, and if you think about it, several good shots will be helping them live comfortably. So that’s why they’re always following celebrities; they’re hoping for that one-in-a-million shot that’s going to be their big break and help them hit the jackpot. And though we don’t know why, a lot of people buy the tabloids, and magazines that keep them in business. There are some things that people just want to see in magazines and I guess candid photos are one of them. I would buy them just to see what’s going on in Hollywood or whatever. Sometimes there are the big ‘exclusive’ stories that are interesting which would be an occasion for a lot of people to buy and see the photos. And in a way, I guess the paparazzi do sort of help celebrities: they give them publicity and everything to help people who may not have considered them before, and who may not know of them… Just saying. But then again, if you have a favorite celebrity I guess you could buy the magazines just to see what they were up to lately or whatever… =) I hope this helps you!

Are they illegal? no nipples are showing, just the whole side…just wondering what the rule was there.

No nipples was showing therefore it isnt considered nudity…

They get every picture you can think of and they didn’t get any pictures of Rihanna’s injuries or Chris getting arrested or Rihanna throwing his keys out of the window (supposedly) or anything! That’s kind of weird!

It is very weird! I was looking for proof of what happened and apparently there is none! I’ve come down with two options:
1. Her bodyguards were all over it and didn’t let anyone see what happened. The paparazzi maybe thought that seeing her like that would take down on her fans and she wont be able to be a celebrity anymore.
2. Nothing really happened. It’s all a rumor. The paparazzi made it up for the attention or they were thinking they should break up and made this up so they would break up.

Contact the gossip ads, like Star, Enquirer etc…and just tell them you have an exclusive picture of a celeb in his or her most embarrassing act, pose, etc.. and want to sell it to them. They’ll send you a dsiclaimer, and a waiver stating that all property received is now exclusive and sole property of such and such, and if they accept the picture and it’s a celeb in the news that they want, they will compensate you accordingly.

It’s called free-lance photography

I have never understood this. By copyright laws, it’s meant to be the person who is in a picture owns the copyright. Therefore it can’t be published for money in any way. So how do paparazzi get away with it?

Or am i wrong?

Your talking about a double edged sword.

The images they take keep the famous and semi famous in the spotlight…something they crave and to further their careers need.

A good publicist/ agent for any actor/actress attempting to gain their client the next big contract might start making phone calls, alerting the media that said star will be at so and such at whatever time.

Don’t for a moment delude yourself into thinking these people were caught unawares…At least 90% is staged, yes even those risky photos of topplessness by the pool are not so innocent… they know very well what their doing…

Professionals know when to back off and leave someone alone…most often its the rabid fans who intrude into these peoples personal lives and that’s where the trouble starts…

Trust me when I say if the pictures were not welcomed a ton of greedy lawyers would be knocking at the door…
