I have been a professional photographer for years, mostly studio work, models, headshots etc... I have taken the past 2 1/2 years off from "working" as a photographer and am strongly considering becoming a part time paparazzo. And why not, it's still photography, and it does seem to pay pretty well if you take it seriously! I can still shoot my artistic photos when I feel like it, and after working with actors and models, I'd rather shoot them from my car than deal with some of them in the studio! It's all just taking photos, and it's what we all love to do. We all have our own nitch in photography so for someone to say one is better and one is worse is completely rediculous. In fact, I've seen some photos hanging in galleries in SoHo that I personally wouldn't care to ever see again.
So we all have our styles, and we all decide what is art, so I might decide to shoot famous people from my car, at least it's with a camera.
