Everyone knows how much of a menace the paparazzi is, so lets see what it's like to be them. Go out and take a picture of someone that doesn't want their picture taken. But be careful, everyone also knows what sometimes happens when they go to far.
jerostone: Fine, but since this is a bit risky, will it be OK if it is staged, or does it have to be candit? ( 5 years and 3012 days ago )
locksmagic: Wow I suggested this a looong time ago, never thought it would ever get picked. This should be interesting lol. ( 5 years and 3012 days ago )
Derivatix: @ jerostone: in my oppinion this HAS to be staged, as somebody that doesn't want their picture taken will hardly allow the image to be published. You would need a model release if you enter the image in a contest. And that is rather hard to get when people don't want to be photographed.
Also you would have to be very annoying and photograph somebody over and over again to get a "paparazzi-like" reaction like the one above. Famous people are annoyed immediatly if they see photographers. The ordinary local neighbor or passerby will most likely first be surprised of having their picture taken and react afterwards. If the person reacts upset, you would have THEN to take another picture. Would you dare to do so? I wouldn't. ( 5 years and 3011 days ago )
jerostone: Absolutely right, Derivatix, and it's a nice thing you pointed out for us all these implications. Nevertheless I suppose that either the mods, or locksmagic would have to further elaborate on the of staged-no staged issue. But, as we, Greeks use to say, where there is a will, there is a way, meaning I can always secure my cam on a tripod and shoot myself while pretending to be an extremely irked and annoyed... celebrity at being harassed by ruthless and unscrupulous paparazzi!!!

Contest Moderator: Yes it can be staged BUT it must be "on location" NO STUDIO SHOTS ( 5 years and 3011 days ago )

As Mossy says, funny famous-copy, with a bottle of water as finishing touch (no clue if on purpose, but for some reason it fits perfectly in my stereotype image of a Jennifer Aniston lookalike, together with the outfit). Good luck!
To me it makes even more sense, as, where I live, the lady's gesture - the palm of the hand showing, with all five fingers stretched- is the equivalent of giving somebody the finger. Nice capture, author
this is really great! I agree with others, the water bottle adds to the picture. Also does the expensive car. This looks like a papparazzi shot, well done!
how did you recognize her to be KK, mossyB? was it her eyes, hands or.. ahem..?
author says:
Thank you MossyB but no! It is not KK
author says:
Iquraishi it looks like KK from all the parts mentioned but no not her lol!
author says:
No Nator she is not, she is a singer @ a wedding trying to relax and I came toward her for a picture but she wasn't happy about it specially while eating her apple!
Thank you for your feedback!
Paparazzing a close friends might not be as dangerous and scary as capturing someone that unknown to you. This is the proof of "mild" rejection :) (5 years and 3007 days ago)
I love the crowd in the background, they look interested in the action, too!
He's a actually a band member who played with the Back Street Boys Millenmium tour in 1999 who was recognised at a local theme park.
This is my favorite! You did a great job author!
Nice Job Congrats
