Celebrity photography

Celebrity photography

in the arts, sports and sometimes politics. There are three types of celebrity photography used by magazines and newspapers. They are:

*Event Photography - Photographers who work celebrity related events, such as film premieres, parties and award shows
*Celebrity Portraiture - Photographers who are assigned portrait sessions with celebrities, shot on location or in a photo studio
*Paparazzi (or "pap") - Photographers who shoot candid photos of celebrities with or without their consent, in the hope of capturing an exclusive image of said celebrity. Sometimes they resort to very long telephoto lens shots, or even to secret photography.
