amazing

I began photographing celebrities on the red carpet when I was 17 years old in 1999. Back then, I was the youngest and the only one with a digital camera (because I borrowed my dad's). In the documentary, it showed the amount of attention that Austin, the teenage papparazo, was getting and I could definitely relate to him.

Teenage Papparazo is a riveting glimpse of how fame itself is an industry through the perspectives of celebrities themselves, the paparazzi and an even more unique view--the teenage papparazo. As a kid, he must learn how to deal with real grown-up situations and how to deal with fame. He grows up fast and in some ways becomes tainted.

Adrian Grenier is an amazing narrator and tells a story of glamour, celebrity, and how Hollywood can really take its toll on the naive. Fame is a monster...you just need to learn how to deal with it and not lose yourself.
