Stalk the wild star, do battle with the hot-tempered leading man, and be there when the cops bust the naked starlet. It's all part of the job.
Welcome to the world of the paparazzi, where celebrities and accused murderers, royals and rock stars, know them all too well. They'll go to any length to get a photograph; deception, bribery, and downright lying are some of the milder ploys.
Peter Howe turns a serious eye on the origins, the ethics, the stalkers and stalkees, and our insatiable appetite for celebrity that keeps these photographers in such demand. More than two hundred tabloid-worthy photographs accompany interviews with the top practitioners of this dark trade, as well as with magazine editors, photo agency owners, and the subject themselves.
Together they treat us to the "real" stories behind some of the world's most famous faces.
