I'm one and I only make $1500-$1800 a month max. Don't believe what you here on TV no one makes allot of money doing this shit. I wouldn't be here if i did make good money shooting celebs. I make on ave $20 for every picture i sell. TV only pays me a few bucks a pic. No union too much competition.

All depends on how lucky you get, I guess. Like mentioned above. I bet the guy who sold the bald Britney pic made some real cash.Comment

Now days the real great "paparazzi" shots are staged by the stars agent and marketing team.Comment

Sorta gives one a yen for the fake news of yesteryear.Comment

What kind of flash and bracket do most paparazzi use? ( vertical bracket )Comment

I heard that Adnan Ghalib was making 200k even before he hooked up with Brit. I think he worked for Finalpixx and JFK Online... apparently jfx was started by a bunch of filipino ex gangstas. there's a lot of gangsta thuggish papparazi around.
i used to watch all the latest vids on splashnews.com for entertainment but they password protected it now so guests can't browse anymore...Comment

Then whats up with people getting 100k for a single shot...
I guess its just what you shoot. If you had a clear picture of two actors making out at a club.. I'd imagine that would bring in 50kComment

Chasing around "famous people" and taking their pictures. That's some life alright.Comment

One thing I have learned about Hollywood, Don't believe any of the numbers or reviews.Comment

The paparazzi at the top make insane money but the rank and file knuckledraggers you see on TV don't make much. I see them all the time stalking stars and they suck at it.Comment

People always think someone else is pulling in an unfair amount more dough than they are.
There is the desire, if someone views a job as morally questionable to believe it makes crazy bank i.e. all the people who think smut slangers and paparazzi are all rich.Last edited by AmeliaG; 05-17-2008, 09:18 AM.Comment

Dave, why haven't you and other Paparazzi's got together and start your own site like X17 and make some serious money?Comment

How much do you think Perez Hilton makes?Comment

dave90210, got any connections that can yell you anything about the massive movie set being built in the Hollywood Park race track in Inglewood?Comment

so you dont have the motivation is the real answer? considering you could make at least a couple hundred grand a year vs your $24k now, i would take the plunge.... its not like you'd have to stop what you are doing now anyways ... build it on the side and stay anonymous until it starts taking off, then start pumping it harder and get more scandalous exclusive shots just for your siteComment

Great pictures! Where can i buy actual stuff from you? No idea how much exclusive stuff goes for, but if you can deliever exclusive pictures then hit me up.

Most paparazzi have at least $10k of photo-gear around their neck. Sometimes as much as $30k only counting lesses I recognise. I doubt those guys are only making $2000/month or they simply couldn't break even.Victoria Holyns : promote her siteHERE !Comment

Most of those guys you see with those cameras don't own them the agency provides the equipment. I will be honest yes you can make allot of money it's just much harder now then it was before because of all the new paps. Ive had my good months and some really bad months where i made like $500 in sales. I may sale a picture for $800 and only sell one picture that week or for almost 2 weeks. I'm still learning the business and just like the porn business it takes allot of time and hard work.
