celebrity photographer

Famous-face portrait artist

A celebrity photographer specializes in taking pictures of famous people—actors, musicians, politicians, and other public figures.

The term covers both paparazzi who pursue candid shots and studio photographers who create polished portraits for magazines and publicity.

Annie Leibovitz is perhaps the most famous celebrity photographer of her generation.
