Ron Galella, King of the Paparazzi

Here's Looking at You
When shooting, Galella doesn't look through the camera's viewfinder but instead makes eye contact: a technique rewarded by Warren Beatty in this 1979 photo. "I don't do paparazzi anymore," confesses Galella, who is now 79. "I can't run I have arthritis in my legs." But the casual artistry to his work lives on, and his photographs fix the famous and the beautiful into eternal youth and sometimes eternal irritation.
