This Foto Is Not Going Anywhere!!

Want a new piece of advise about our industry? Well, since we are such a wealth of information about this wonderful biz, we will give you a good piece of advise.

Ready? That is never get the Mayor in your fotos. Listen, do not get us wrong, we love and support our Mayor Villaraigosa, but we know from years of experience. Does not matter if it is the Mayor of Los Angeles, London or Bakersfield, they destroy the value of the photograph. It makes the reader feel that they are being sold something. Just because Tommy Lee is in the foto, does not cut it.

We learned this years ago, when we used to photograph the great Mayor Thomas Bradley with all kinds of celebrities and the photographs never moved anywhere. Take the Mayor out of the frame and let the celebrities do their own thing and bingo! The fotos sell. Now, if you had a foto of Elvis with the Mayor, that would be a different story.

That is our paparazzi advise for today. Free of charge of course
