A Day In The Life Of The Paparazzi by Henry Flores

A Day In The Life Of The Paparazzi features a living vicariously approach to depicting the trade of the paparazzo, with self-narrated adventures in every vignette and interspersed photographs that aptly represent the craft. Through them, the author convincingly declares, “I am part of the entertainment industry and without me or without the other paparazzi out there, celebrities wouldn’t be who they are.” Follow the author and photographer, Henry Flores, on his pursuit to get that perfect shot. As he famously states, “Sometimes you only have seconds to react, so you have to always be prepared, because those mere seconds are all you may get to secure a good shot!”

A Day In The Life Of The Paparazzi curates shockingly candid, under-produced portraits of larger-than-life personalities like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears into a work of art. The front cover of the book has a picture of Lindsay Lohan surrounded by paparazzi, which he took while she was at the peak of her career. The book begins with a raucous image of Lindsay Lohan leaving Paris Hilton’s house at four o’clock in the morning, and ends with intimate shots of Henry Flores and other celebrities. The pages in between tell the story of celebrity and its business, but not in the slick, censored way stars are usually portrayed. Publicists or Photoshop do not hinder Henry Flores’ photographs. The book contains 120 pages of celebrity photos along with some never before seen photos of the starlets of today and possibly, the icons of tomorrow.

Henry Flores has been featured on ABC World News, NightLine, Extra TV, and many other media productions, including documentaries from Germany, Canada, and the USA. His company, Buzz Foto, LLC, is responsible for having launched the first ever modern day paparazzi gallery show, which was recognized by the LA Times, TMZ.com, and other well known news media.

About Henry Flores
Henry Flores graduated from California Polytechnic State University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, and began what he thought would be a long and prosperous career as an electrical engineer designing new technology for the medical, telecommunications and military / defense industries. In need of a hobby to release his creative energy while in college, he fell in love with photography, seeing it as a hobby that he could take into retirement. In 2003, Henry received an offer to work for three months under the training and guidance of an experienced paparazzo. After years shooting as a freelance paparazzi photographer, in 2006, discovering that he had a knack for the profession, Henry decided to launch himself full-time in the celebrity photojournalist industry and formed BuzzFoto, a Los Angeles-based photo agencies, which specialized in providing celebrity photos to magazines, newspapers and blogs worldwide to further develop their vision of “Paparazzi as an Art Form!”. http://www.henryflores.com

The drop in photo prices is worldwide. Why? Too many photos on the market and most importantly is that the public does not buy magazines anymore. Why shell out four bucks for a glossy magazine when you can get it all for free on the internet instantaneously.

We hear doom and gloom all the time, but it only makes us work harder. Buzz Foto has something unique that keeps us going and that is passion for our craft. Our enthusiasm is legendary and the paparazzi industry will never vanish. Enjoy the weekend!

Iconic photo by Henry Flores/BuzzFoto.com

Paris Hilton got her PR on yesterday, old school. She got all dolled up for a bit of jewelry shopping at Damiani Jewelry Store in Beverly Hills, California. Paris was greeted by hundreds of fans who waited just outside the store. Police were also present to control the crowd. Just another day in the magical life of Paris Hilton!

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson spent yesterday afternoon shopping for a watch at Philippe’s Watches in Beverly Hills, California. Lindsay and Samantha spent some time looking over a large selection of watches that they tried on. Lindsay wore her usual tight black leggings with a white buttoned shirt. She also wore a leather jacket. Samantha Ronson wore a black and white stripped shirt with jeans and maroon shoes. They were accompanied by Samantha’s pet dog who flirted with a store pet.

Melanie Brown and Stephen Belafonte dropped off the kids at the Grove Plaza with a nanny/caretaker so that they could enjoy a little one on one together for a Valentine Dinner. While dropping off the kids at the Grove, Belafonte picked up the stroller and also removed the car seat from the car.

Melanie Brown and Stephen Belafonte held hands as they made their way to the restaurant. She was wearing a very loud short yellow dress a with a tiger print purse, and he wore jeans with a suit jacket. They both held onto each other to keep each other warm.

Sofia Vergara was asked if she was going to go have dinner with her son Manolo, to which she responded with a direct ‘No’. She then said that she was having dinner with a male friend of hers.

Tyler Perry was all smiles as they made their way to the restaurant. After a few minutes, Terry stepped back to his car as he had forgotten something. As he approached the photographer, Tyler Perry shook hands with him and carried on his way to the restaurant. He also mentioned, as he laughed, that this is the reason why he preferred to be in Georgia rather than California.

She didn’t seem to mind. I bet that there are certain people out there that would not even walk out of their bedroom without makeup. Are you that type of person?

Then she did what everyone else would do, she grabbed a cute white Terrier Puppy and smiled for the cameras. Can you see yourself doing that?

Paris Hilton did then did some real damage as she went through loads and loads of clothing. She tried everything from long dresses to pants with shirt. She would spin and turn. At times, she would even play with her hair just to see if it would improve the outfit.

These cosmic photos of Katie Price were taken yesterday at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills. We love that place. They have the absolute best Osso Buco in town.

If you are a freelancer and working legally, we can broker your photos or better yet, in this tight market, we can purchase them outright. You will be paid promptly and fairly. We would love to feature your iconic paparazzi imagery on these pages!

New paparazzi and agencies come and go and Buzz Foto continues to grow. We were in London last week and even though the market in the UK is challenged, we found that everyone wanted to be part of the Buzz Foto brand.

So at the end of the day, what are we all about? We only work with professionals who have a passion for their craft and not a fast buck. We do everything by the book with no exceptions. Our goal is to make beautiful iconic elegant paparazzi photographs that will hang in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York or the Tate Modern in London.

We have a true passion of the art while maintaining aggressive and personable sales.

Hey, check out this beauty of this photograph. Pure style and grace with some lovely California lighting. Helmut Newton would have loved to have been standing next to Henry!

Thank you to our readers and our brilliant paparazzi.

See you at Ma’Kai!

Phoebe was also in the holiday spirit as she came to buy a tree for her home. We chatted about life and the economy as we made our way into the tree lot. Since I had already looked through the selection, I showed her around. As she was browsing with her pet dog, I snapped a few pictures. She then thought that it would be nice to see a different side of Phoebe Price, a look that was more serious, seductive, and mysterious. What do you think?

Phoebe was wearing a new hat design she just finished cooking up. She told me that this is the first time that she was ever photographed with it. Boy, Phoebe Price is a hustler. She has a bandanna line and now she was a new hat line. After the tree lot, her next stop was to a store to sell her new design.

Phoebe looked and looked and finally found the perfect Christmas tree. As she picked up the tree, I got a few more shots. She then walked to the checkout stand and there she noticed a large box of giant pine cones. She grabbed a few of the largest ones and said, ‘shots like these always make it in the magazines.’ She was referring to the fake shots of celebs holding up pumpkins and watermelons for their boobs. Let’s just hope that she is right.

Make sure you see all the 42 exclusive photos in the gallery…

I wasn’t too surprised since the girls in Beverly Hills walk around like this all day. But I decided to take a few pictures for those of you out there in England where it is nice and toasty. Hah, Beverly Hills!

I love this town.

She was about to cross the street and I needed to get that shot of her jaywalking and impeding traffic.  I pulled over right way and with my long lens, I took a few shots of her crossing the street.  She made her way to interMix clothing boutique which is right across the street from the Ivy Restaurant.  As you might have guessed it, there were a few paparazzi door stepping that restaurant.  I got my shots and no…  I did not get jumped.  I was exclusive the entire time.

A few hours later, guess where I found Nicky Hilton again.  Yup!  She was getting a proper hosedown along Beverly Blvd as she made her way to the coffee shop.   I pulled over because I knew that my shots were not that hot from earlier that day since I was not directly in front of her.  So I did what everyone else was doing, I got my short lens and flash ready.  It was already dark outside and so I adjusted my settings.  As she came out…  Let’s just say that I got what I needed.  Everyone else continued with her down the street and I decided to grab some coffee.

Unfortunately, by the time I finally made it past him, I see him picking himself from the ground. Apparently just as he was about to cross Robertson Blvd, his bike frame broke. There he was picking up pieces of his bike from the middle of the street.

He posted himself up on a post and called for help.

Thanks KTLA for The Exclusive Report!

Famed photographer Henri Cartier Bresson would at times stake out his subjects. Walker Evans would descend into the New York subway during the forties with his Contax camera hidden in his overcoat to capture daily life in the greatest city in the world. Were these great photographers Paparazzi?

Los Angeles based Buzz Foto captures celebrities in their daily life. Partly because this is what the market commands these days. Is Paparazzi an art form? Buzz Foto thinks so and their images are welcomed and published in publications worldwide including People, US Magazine, and The New York Post.

Are their subjects considered iconic celebrities? Maybe for the very short term in someone’s mind. The days of Burton and Taylor are over. Now it is Britney & Lindsay. The demand for these kind of photos is now bigger than ever.

Will these images be considered iconic and have a chance to hang in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York near Bresson and Evans’s work. Henry Flores and Brad Elterman co owners of Buzz Foto thinks there is a good possibility and that is why they are producing these paparazzi images.

Buzz Foto works with only the finest professional photographers who are in this business for the love of their craft and not just the fast buck. They follow all the rules and are always looking for the one special image of the day.

“To me, these dolls are like empty silver screens for our desires. I look at them and I see the loneliness that characterizes life in Los Angeles,” explains Eckie. “I happen to love this loneliness. It sparks creativity because the only way to meet people in Los Angeles is through work.”

Variety editor Steven Gaydos was there to speak some moving words about Eckie and this brilliant collection. Do not miss this exciting exhibition! It is on for one week only at Seyhoun Gallery located at 9007 Melrose Ave in West Hollywood.

Editors Note: Publicists in Los Angeles and New York are welcome to contact Buzz Foto to cover your event. We need provocative imagery for these pages!

There’s a great story behind this first foto, we’ll tell it, and then we’ll let you just look through the gallery and drool. Our boys Brad Elterman and Henry Flores hung out with Adrian in The Buzzfoto World Headquarters when Adrian was filming his documentary on the paps. Adrian wanted to meet our duo and chat about their glorious years of experience as Celebrity Photographers. When Adrian met the Buzz team, they the forged a friendships and dual respect for one another that still lasts today! We love you Adrian!

The end results are these cosmic and iconic photographs. Nothing like capturing a moment in time with an international celebrity. Photographs like this set make the long and hard hours in the business all worthwhile.

Rachel Bilson looks so cute in her peace and love outfit as she strolled around today in trendy Los Feliz. She met some friends and dined at the House Of Pies.

We are not certain exactly how many pies she consumed, but our reporters are over there now checking with the waitress! We will keep you posted.

We were out taking fotos, swimming, dining and general partying today poolside at Local Celebrity VIP party today. The colorful crowd was a taste of locals, international models and party animal Burt Goldenberg.

We are going to keep our keen Buzz Foto eye on Local Celebrity and their colorful line of shirts which are carried at stores all over Los Angeles. Local Celebrity
