Love them or loath them, celebrities have become a part of everyday life - fueled by the media and the many thousands of magazines and tabloids fighting to survive in the new digital age. The more we want to know about them the greater the demand for exclusive pictures, enter the new breed of Paparazzi who are hungry, competitive and often aggressive in their pursuit of the killer shot!
The word Paparazzi originates from the 1960 film 'La Dolce vita' which features a character playing a news photographer called Paparazzo. The latest generation of 'pappers' however are a long way from what is portrayed in the film as the stakes are high as the right photo can sell for tens of thousands of dollars and appear around the world.
'Paparazzi - the next generation' is a new documentary that follows a group of Paparazzi as they scour the celebrity circuit in London and gives an insight into how they operate and the morality of the modern media game.
'Paparazzi - the next generation' is on ABC2 8:30pm wednesday, august 18th.
