It is sometimes not easy finding celebrities out and about. It takes a lot of hard work and great information. Most of the information comes from informants and tips. A good Paparazzo will be able to cultivate these sources into a profitable business. And, all the good Paparazzo's who make a lot of money have these informants.
LA is the town of informants. Everyone is willing to sell out a celebrity for a price. A celebrity can not go anywhere in this town without risking being given up for cash to the Paparazzi agencies or individual photographers. Sometimes the celebrities themselves or their agents and managers will tip off the Paparazzi for some fast and free publicity.
If you are a parking attendant or doorman and work where celebrities shop, eat or have fun, you can handsomely supplement your salary by tipping off the different Paparazzi agencies. Minimum cash fee is $100. Depending on who the celebrity is or who they are with and what they are doing, prices for informing can go much higher. In certain instances Paparazzi's have paid tipsters a couple thousand dollars for very good exclusive information on A list celebrities.
A celebrity's secretary, maid, chauffer, gardner or security personal all can be bought. Give anyone enough cash and they will spill the beans fast. There are always rumors that a Paparazzi Agency or Celebrity magazine has this A list celebrity's personal in their pocket.
A good tip off is when photos appear of a certain celebrity over and over by the same photographer or Paparazzi agency. They are paying someone for information in the celebrity's camp.
Luck plays a very small part in the Paparazzi business. As the saying goes, "Cash is King." And, in LA there is always someone wanting more cash.
