E. L. Woody (born September 1 1946) is the self-proclaimed "King of paparazzi." http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1579609/ He is known for taking pictures of celebrities. He began taking pictures while in the U.S.Army. During the Vietnam War,1968-1969, he was a medic, and platoon leader on the 5th Special Forces Nha Trang Mike Force, where he was known as "Shotgun" Woody (1968-1969). He received a Bronze Star with V device, Navy Commendation Medal with V device, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and Combat Jump Wings, as a result of his numerous combat operations with The Mike Force.

He photographed for numerous magazines including EASYRIDERS, QUI, CLUB, and many others, until Mary Crosby (The girl who shot J.R. on "DALLAS") asked him to photograph her for THE STAR MAGAZINE for an article about her rescueing her horses from a Malibu fire. The money received for that photo shoot set him on his photographic path.

A still photographer, Woody, was fascinated with the potential for video. He began the video paparazzi business in 1993, when he began his video career by providing footage of celebrities to A CURRENT AFFAIR, INSIDE EDITION, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, HARD COPY, and many other celebrity news shows.

Since 1993, E.L.Woody has amassed a huge video library which documents the past 15 years of Hollywood history. With almost 4000 hours of footage, and 70,000 video clips, his library is used as an archive by DATELINE, 60 MINUTES, and news and documentary shows around the world. His collection of ANNA NICOLE SMITH clips is the largest in the world. http://vod.celebrities.com/search.php?title=on&conjunction=and&search_x=search&search_videos=1&words=Anna+Nicole+smith&x=11&y=13

His CHRISTOPHER ROCANCOURT clips document the French con man, Faux ROCKERFELLER, featured on DATELINE'S "TO CATCH A THIEF", which also includes an interview with E.L.Woody on the Sunset Strip.

Woody and videographer J.D. LIGIER were the first video paparazzi shooting the Hollywood scene. Most of the footage in the video archives is exclusive video of the most famous stars, out at clubs, dining, shopping, and doing all the things you would think stars would do in Hollywood. Woody is regarded as the original video paparazzo. Currently there are at least a hundred video paparazzi videoing in Hollywood. Most have joined the ranks after seeing Woody on one of the many television shows which have featured segments, or whole shows, to his exploits, see "When Paparazzi Cross The Line" for an example. It was Executive produced by Edward Wessex, Princess Diana's Brother-in-law, and features a paparazzi safari with E.L.Woody.

Channel 5 in the UK produced a thirty minute programe about Woody.

Branching out from stills to video, then to EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, has enhanced Woody's reputation among the stars, as a Starmaker, who can help their careers, or even launch new careers. PARIS HILTON was featured in eleven episodes of the E! series, CELEBRITIES UNCENSORED, and this helped launch her career in Hollywood.http://vod.celebrities.com/search.php?ct=607&PHPSESSID=6a56ba35-baba328f-6a56ba34-baba328f-00000002-n91h586rtj23oj3t0tbdot2v27&search_videos=1&words=Paris+hilton&conjunction=and&catconjunction=or
