British reality show PAPARAZZI takes viewers behind the cameras that haunt celebrities' every move, attempting to show the business through the eyes of those who profit from the photos that fill the tabloids. Viewers ride shotgun as photographer Darryn Lyons and his colleagues at Big Pictures agency follow tips about celebs' whereabouts, tailing them to restaurants, beauty salons, department stores, and their homes. Often photo teams are sent on general assignments to vacation hot spots like Barbados, where they stake out the beaches and eateries, waiting for famous folks like Brad Pitt, Michael Douglas, and Kate Moss to wander into view so they can snap a few shots of their unsuspecting victims. The photographers (or "snappers," as they're often called) share the stresses of their job, which range from getting the cold shoulder or a few choice words from average citizens (this one usually only bothers the rookies) to losing out on the perfect shot to a rival agency. It quickly becomes apparent to viewers that empathy and respect rarely tug at the consciences of these snappers, who are seldom deterred by security personnel or their subjects' pleas for privacy.
