I’ve recently just sat down to watch Ron Galella‘s documentary, Smash His Camera. It’s interesting to see the evolution of paparazzi today and how a much has changed in terms of technology. But, how little has changed in the interaction with celebrity and the man behind the camera.
Today’s celebrity now has a platform to promote themselves and control their own image through social media as where others still remain to be as private as possible.
The documentary ended with Ron Galella saying, “My picture taking is finished, there’s no need for me to shoot today, there’s very little to be shot. The iconic stars are gone.”
Do you think the “iconic stars” are gone today because as a society we became more interested in the voyeuristic part of their every day lives, leaving no mystery to who they are…
