McNamara situates the phenomenon of the paparazzi between the photo journalist, the voyeuristic celebrity spy, and the 24/7 culture of selfies, instant media, and Instagram. The author explores the genealogy of paparazzi from the celebrity photography of Fellini?s Rome to Ron Galella?s 1970s, celebrity stalking work, to the tabloid vultures that flashed the Royal family, and finally the emergence of Entertainment Weekly?s style celebrity magazines pairing pop journalism with glamour aesthetics. The SLR camera is credited with paving the path for semi-skilled amateur snoops, but historically the grunge style competes with the need for quality cover shots to fuel the fashion journals? endless need for images. Industry giants Getty and Corbis are the only two real marketplaces for these dubiously obtained shots, and McNamara claims they are tasked with ?fixing a price for something which has no clear intrinsic value.? Most recently, the arriving venues of TMZ and other celebrity gossip sites have sired new hybrids of news/gossip/social media and higher cultural forms such as the fine art of social media portraiture. Like graffiti, paparazzi can be seen as a new form of pop street art.
