Paparazzi

Paparazzi (UK: /ˌpæpəˈrætsi/, US: /ˌpɑːpəˈrɑːtsi/; Italian: [papaˈrattsi]; sg.: masculine paparazzo or feminine paparazza) are independent photographers who take pictures of high-profile people; such as actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, and other celebrities who go about their daily life routines. Paparazzi tend to make a living by selling their photographs to media outlets that focus on tabloid journalism and sensationalism (such as gossip magazines).
