paparazzo

Tabloid camera chaser

A paparazzo is a freelance photographer who aggressively pursues celebrities to capture candid shots for tabloids and gossip media.

The work often involves staking out restaurants, following cars, and invading private moments: Paparazzi swarmed the actress as she left the hospital.

The plural paparazzi is more common than the singular, reflecting how they typically operate in packs.
