If a person is in some way become a professional, then it inevitably accumulates a set of small tricks to help in the work, well, interesting stories, by itself. Says Mikhail Gulko - New York paparazzi. < 1. The Italian word "paparazzo" in the singular sounds like "Paparazzi". But in Russian it somehow has undergone a change.
2. In New York on the street, you can shoot anyone: it is perfectly legitimate, in contrast to other states, where this can be difficult. But some of the characters have to track down for months or a long time to sit in an ambush near their house.
3. To find a hero for a photo - for example, just to get home address - paparazzi have to share information with colleagues and even resort to using private detectives. In addition, his informants have photo agencies. With it, the agency can call paparazzi and "order" of the client. It is worth thousands of dollars that information.
4. In New York, there are a number of hotels where you can catch the stars, and you can work with them, but have to pay for information, $ 10-20 thousand. And bribe the receptionist or maid less money will not work, they are too afraid of exposure, layoffs and the court.

And they took the elevator scandal. And security camera took this video and leaked it. He condemned harshly. I think he had very serious trouble, "- says Michael.
5. People are especially interesting to look at the living interactions of stars. For example, a husband feeds the Spanish princess with a spoon. You can simply take a picture of a couple coming out of the house, but the picture will not be sold so well.
6. There are situations where the photographer does the job, sends pictures to the agency, and they are not sold. Then it turns out that the paparazzi working at a loss, because the flights, hotels, taxis and so he spent himself. Therefore safer to conclude a contract with the agency payroll.

But arise, and a curious situation where the media is paying a huge amount for a photo, and then it does not print. One example: Jennifer Aniston was photographed, read the magazine US Weekly. And People Magazine paid $ 500,000 for this photo - just bought it and never published. The main thing that she went to US Weekly.
9. Now, he said, such amounts is unrealistic, but his friends recently sold a few pictures of the actor Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk, ex-girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo, for $ 100 000. Photos from these transactions have received 60% . There were three of them came out on 20 thousand per person, and after taxes remained at 15. And it is now the ceiling.
10. According to Misha, many paparazzi "work as butchers": "They jump out with a short lens or 70-200 and shot in the faceĀ».
11. Celebrities behave differently. There are those who perfectly understands everything - smart, normal, sane people. They understand that it's part of their lives and just pretend that nothing is happening, trying to ignore the paparazzi.
Others are satisfied with tantrums, turn away, trying to escape, hiding, too, come up with some mnogohodovki to somehow cheat photographers.
12. If you tease a star before she will throw at you, you can earn a lot of money through the courts, so many paparazzi specifically "run up" in trouble.

14. But most of the photos of Kim Kardashian Staged, but realize it is not all. She is actively working with the photographers: calls and tells them where she will be in a given day.
15. By the way, very easy to catch the star in the hail, "Hey!". That's how many new paparazzi: you can just drive by car to the celebrity, to shout "Hey!" And shoot when it will turn.
