We are obsessive about celebs and greedily consume paper and mag pictures of them. The celebrity photograph is massive business and photographers can make plenty of cash when they snap one. The photographers wait for hours outside clubs, to get an image of somebody famous coming out drunk or the worse for wear. Some will stalk a star till they get the image they need. The media builds them up and then attempts to knock them down again.

Sitting up trees with a long lens to shoot a star photograph is a unusual way to earn a crust. A good deal of soul looking went on when Princess Diana was rubbed out in an automobile crash in Paris. Though the photographers who had been chasing her on that sad night were officially cleared of any blame, a lot of folk thought they had played a big part in the occurrences of that night. It's been claimed that some photographers took footage of Diana after the crash and prior to the emergency services arrived. It isn't uncommon practice for the snappers to follow stars thru traffic and an analogous event will most likely occur again. Naturally, it's not only the photographers that snap the celebs.

There's a long convention, from the times of silent screen star Valentino, to publicize celebrities with a photograph shoot. Many photographers have gained a rep from the celebrity photograph and some photographs have passed into legend. In the 1930s and 1940s, the flick studios wanted their glamorous stars to simper for the camera in beautiful dresses. Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland posed for the mag covers like Hollywood royalty. More informal photos came in from the 1950s, leaving us with some excellent moments.

Nobody knew how mythical James Dean would become when he was caught walking down the roads of Manhattan, hunched up against the rain. Occasionally , a picture can become like an historic document. One such celebrity photograph is the one taken of John Lennon and Yoko Ono that shows an unclothed Lennon in a fetus position, lying beside Ono. This image was taken on the day of Lennon's murder and is extremely piquant to have a look at now. The celebrity photograph is with us to remain whether the celebrity is a happy participant or the hunted quarry of the snappers.
