Paparazzi

The paparazzi photographers everyday get out to try and capture the perfect photo of a famous celebrity or icon. A famous photographer in this field of photography was Ron Galella who got many great photos of famous people. To get some of the images that he got wasn't easy by getting punched in the face and being sued and going to court for it. The person the I used is someone I work with to be my model. The reason I choose him was because he is in a band trying to get famous so I thought he would be perfect in doing this where he might know kind of on how to act and play the role. Also thought he would enjoy doing it since maybe one day he will become someone famous and have the paparazzi all over him and his band. One day we went to Caesars Palace after work so that we could go on the strip. I picked the strip because there are people there and wanted it to look like that he was someone famous with others looking at him like they know who he is. Though this didn't end up working to well with everyone looking at us and giving me looks like why am I taking their photo. The photo that I choose, along with others in my gallery, was one where I was behind him like I'm following him to his car. I like how he is looking back like he knows I'm there and trying to get away or doesn't want people to know what he is doing or has been doing. The time of day was in the late afternoon like about 6 o'clock pm. The light that I used is just the sunlight coming in from the left side using my Olympus E-420 camera.
