“Paparazzi” refers to photographers or individuals who specialize in taking candid photographs of celebrities, typically in public places.
The term is often associated with intrusive and aggressive photography, capturing celebrities in their private moments without their consent.
Paparazzi are known for pursuing high-profile individuals to get exclusive photos that can be sold to tabloids, magazines, or websites for publication.
The relationship between celebrities and paparazzi is often contentious, with many celebrities expressing frustration and concern about the invasion of their privacy.
In some cases, the pursuit of celebrities by paparazzi has led to legal issues, altercations, and even changes in legislation to protect the privacy of public figures.
While some argue that paparazzi play a role in providing the public with information about celebrities, others criticize their tactics as invasive and unethical.
The term “paparazzi” originated from the character Paparazzo, a news photographer in Federico Fellini’s 1960 film “La Dolce Vita.”
