Hire your own paparazzi

Have you ever wanted celebrity-style photos of yourself? You know, the kind of photos that look like they were taken by somebody hiding in a bush somewhere just waiting for you to come out and walk around. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. Well, now apparently you don’t even have to be a celebrity to have these photos taken.
Armed with a long lens and some extra time, some photographers are being hired by regular people to be photographed like they were a celebrity.
But instead of being bombarded by flashes, the photos are taken “secretly” by the photographer based on a general schedule that the customer provides. The photographer then follows this schedule (on a random day and without the customer knowing) and shoots photos for several hours, capturing the person in a natural and candid way.
Photo package prices range from $200 and up depending on how long you want to be trailed by the photographer. Check out MethodIzaz and Celeb-4-A-Day for a better idea of how this all plays out.
