Question

Can I know about the paparazzi?

Answer

According to an article in Time Magazine , Time Style and Design, Fall 2005, Mel Bouzad, one of the top paparazzi in Los Angeles, is a twenty-six year old man who makes it his business to know where celebrities will be at any given time. Bouzad's job is to take marketable pictures of celebrities. The article continues to say that Bouzad (like many other photographers) moved to Los Angeles with only his camera and a change of clothes, only to become a very successful businessman, running his own company, MB Pictures. Bouzad told Time how much money is involved in the business by claiming to have made $150,000 for a picture of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in Georgia after their breakup. He also claimed, "If I get Britney and her baby, I'll be able to buy a house in those hills," referring to the luxurious homes in the hills above Sunset Boulevard. Also according to Time, Peter Howe, the author of Paparazzi, says, "celebrities need a higher level of exposure than the rest of us ... so it is a two-way street. The celebrities manipulate."
