Ok, Couple more responses, Firstly, before i was a pap i did news, and the biggest story i've worked on was the killing of Rhys Jones in Liverpool. Now i arrived on the scene really quickly, infact parts of Rhys were still on the floor in the car park. It was not very nice and the...

There are some celebrities that do that, Paul McCartney will stop, let you get your pictures and then nobody will follow him, However, it's not always about a simple full length, we need to build sets, people shopping, eating, dating etc,

Well like i said, most of the time celeb drivers if they're being followed take it upon themselves to act the superhero and lose the paps. I've actually seen celebs tell their driver to stop and they've got out of the car and took a cab. Most of the time celebs don't know they're being...

I use VR lens, my bread and butter is my 70-200VR, Yes Scooters are good, but not very safe, and not too nice in the cold weather, Papping for the short term just doesn't work, as from taking a picture to being paid normally takes around 3 months from the UK, and 6 months plus from...

Well, i mean it's anything but easy! However i would agree, you don't have to be a great photographer to be a great pap, although they go hand in hand, i think they require different skills sets. But where i disagree, if that you do have to worry about exposure and composition etc, my...

When i'm back in London, i'll grab some random cuttings and scan them in, how's that?

Thank You Gadgetman, I come here a lot and view the forums, but this is the first time i've felt so compelled to give a response, And i hope it changes some serious prejudices!

Ok, First of all, I am 20, a guy, originally from Liverpool, moved to London about 18 months ago, because i wanted to be a member of the Paparazzi! And well here i am, still going and i'm doing very well, There are a few things i need to say as some of the comments here are...
