While I was reading Patricia Holland article is about photography the term “paparazzi” caught my eye .Since this term is still popular and media also talk about this issue I want to mention about it. As Patricia Holland says when famous people want to be on view, photographers behave unadulterated publicist create alluring and flattering images however when famous people do not want to be taken photo or want to be private, photographer turn out to be invasive stalkers and they do not leave them until they can take a picture.
I know that paparazzi’s duty is taking photo of celebrities but sometimes they go over the limit. They ask questions again and again or they sometimes follow them until celebrities get in their houses. Paparazzi’s continue the same behaviour until they be slapped by celebrities. However maybe they wait for this to make an interesting news .Such as ‘blabla who is celebrities slapped our publicist.’ But when they prepare this news they do not think what they did do to make these people angry. Princes Diana died while she was escaping paparazzi, maybe they do not want to consider themselves as responsible for this accident.
Yes, I often wonder why stalking laws do not seem to apply to paparazzi. If an ordinary person did what they do, surely they would get arrested!
