Craparazzi - James Desborough - Bog

Sometimes the worst pictures are really the best. The ones that are edited may appear to be the most honest, but because of the overwhelming demand for celebrities to always have smiling, glamorous faces the pictures that show the truth are sometimes left out. Celebrities love to have their picture taken but can also have bad days they do not want documented...after all, despite what people may think, they are human! Paparazzi are just photojournalists with a bad name. They do not choose the pictures you all see. The good paps shoot everything and the picture editors' selections are passed to chief editors who make the final decisions. Celebrities have to sell themselves and the movies or TV shows they appear in, working together with the paparazzi to present themselves at premieres or award shows. Sometimes the celebs are caught off-guard - maybe there's been a row with their boyfriend, they've been turned down for a big part, their TV series was cancelled or perhaps they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The real stars somehow manage to have 'star quality' even when crossing the road or doing their shopping. Craparazzi showcases the pictures that have not been published, where the star tried to avoid being snapped, by leaving through the back door, covering their face with a purse or simply hiding. Sometimes the photographer misses the 'money shot' but still gets a picture that tells the story. You be the judge. Enjoy the pictures and the captions and between them see if you can guess who the celebs are?
