![]() ![]() The most interesting celebrity I've ever worked with directly to do staged pictures was Amanda Bynes during her very public mental breakdown. But many people believe that his tip came from inside Taylor's own camp. Most paparazzi have heard rumors that the first shots of Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal looking cozy together on a sidewalk in Brooklyn were staged. They were shot with a long lens from a great distance, and the photographer had to put time into the job. How much would a staged pic like the Taylor "first official BF/GF pics" get?Įnough to put a down payment on a very nice house. I can't remember the last time I flipped through a tabloid or browsed a gossip blog without seeing setup shops in the mix. If they shoot on a beach, these images are heavily Photoshopped and she chooses her favorites to sell. She reviews every image before they start selling them to magazines.

There are certain celebs who hate being photographed by paparazzi and they will do anything to avoid it. The readers of tabloid magazines and blogs have no idea!Ĭontrol is another big reason for staging photos. It's a paid photo shoot and the celebrity gets a big check. They usually try to make the photos look natural and candid, but in reality, the celebrity and the photographer are working together. Certain photo agencies specialize in these types of fake paparazzi photos. It could be the latest cell phone that was just released, or a food or beauty product, or something as simple as them being seen shopping at a certain retail outlet. Many setup photos include a paid product endorsement, where a photo agency works as a middleman between a celebrity and a company who has a product to sell. But they also release photos because they want to have control of their own image. Why would a celebrity ever set up and stage photos? if it's a huge news story, you always have to wonder, don't you?

My first instinct when seeing the pictures of Taylor and Tom is that they are definitely staged.

Every time she steps outside is a new opportunity for her to look good in the magazines. She takes an entirely different approach to paparazzi than most celebrities do.

If we act professionally and listen to their instructions, then she will give it up and everyone gets what they want. ![]() There is an unspoken deal between Swift and paparazzi, and her bodyguards make it clear. Taylor Swift is a celebrity that won't walk outside without perfect makeup and great fashion, and she smiles at every paparazzi to make sure they all get beautiful pictures. When The Sun released photos of Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston kissing (or "snogging"), the question on everyone's mind was, Was this staged? (Also, Tom Hiddleston? Really?) To get a better understanding of how the shady world of pap setups work, spoke to New York City paparazzo and creator of Stupid Famous People, Justin Steffman:ĭo you think the Taylor and Tom pics are staged?
