Want To Be A Paparazzo? |

Shutterbugs in love with the stars, or at least, in love with the money they think they could earn taking pictures of the stars, should have some realistic idea of the occupation.
Firstly, The Bosh would urge you never to cross the line into being a stalkerazzo. The asshole who rammed his minivan into Lindsay Lohan's sportscar attempting to take a picture of her, as well as the idiot who alleged that a photo of Cameron kissing a man, not Justin, was proof of her infidelity have no place in the world of decent gossip. Decent gossipers realize that there is enough incredible scandal and outrageous behaviour to keep tongues wagging forever; no invented stuff and nonsense is necessary.
With that behind us, you should know that typically, star photographers work through agencies to sell their pics to mags. A red carpet shot which everybody and his mother took might fetch from $75 to $200. If the shutterbug was invited into a celebrities house and there got an exclusive photo, he or she could expect to earn tens of thousands. The agencies most often take 40%. If they supplied extra info for the story, for instance, if they specify that the underwear band poking up from Denise Richard's falling pants says "Victoria's Secret," then the agency will take an additional 10%. Last one to come to us with a pic of Brad's butt naked is a rotten egg! (By Scott Rose)
