Wanting to be a Paparazzi Photographer?

Being a paparazzi photographer would feel like chasing down your crush you have been dying to be with and you just can't stop taking pictures of them because you want to show them off. Being one, you're seeing life as a big flash, and time won't stop because numerous people are capturing the one shot they find the most attractive and later then blinding the audiences. In my perspective, I do not wish to be a paparazzi photographer. Why? I just believe it is too much chaos to handle and all the big crowds chasing down a celebrity is basically chasing down their life for just a picture.

Life as a paparazzi, you are basically on a search for the celebrity and having to walk down neighborhoods and tour buses, and therefore you end up stalking their house until they come out the door. Paparazzi's tend to gossip and make rumors of information being put on magazines just for earning money. I believe it's not right to live a celebrity life and having to be put on a magazine and saying something about you that you don't even know what they're talking about because paparazzi's would tend to think that they own your life basically. You get to follow the celebrity, stalk them while they eat, while they workout, and you're just following them like a little puppy. Now, for example, the Kardashians are quite popular aren't they? You're living your job as a paparazzi, and out of nowhere you spot them shooting the Kardashians show, and you see Khloe hanging out, having fun, but then you cover up their story thats either good or bad. If it was a bad rumor of a coverup, you are ruining their reputation in some way because of what you published to a magazine to earn yourself some money.

Now lets put ourselves in a celebrity perspective and use the same reference as Khloe Kardashian shall we? If I was Khloe, and I am just hanging around in and out the house, spending quality time with the family at an amusement park, and there's a reason for wearing glasses, not only for the sun, but for the flashing cameras flicking from left to right. I was just enjoying my time riding the roller coasters, eating cotton candy, and taking selfies with my sisters, and you have strangers invading your time and space. What are you to do in a public place such as an amusement park and as a famous person, you have stalkers following you around on and off even when you're driving ! Of course they won't stalk you in your own home, you may feel as though trapped. If you've been popular for quite some time, I'm sure celebrities get use to it real easily, probably their cheeks and jaw hurts from smiling for so long for the camera on the count of 3.

Overall, in my opinion, I would not decide to be a paparazzi photographer just to watch a celebrities life or to earn money to find them and take numerous pictures. You are invading the space of a person and of their life. If you were popular and famous like those on T.V., you would feel as much pressure and irritability for driving yourself into such chaos.
