Chinese actor Wen Zhang's extramarital affair has brought a particular occupation, the paparazzi, into public focus. Unlike other professional journalists, the paparazzi is well-known for trailing and taking candid pictures of celebrities including pop stars, politicians, members of royal families and sports stars. As in Wen's case, it can take considerable time to get shock pictures of famous people's private lives. But it is a well-paid job with one amazing picture worth millions of dollars. Not only popular in China, the paparazzo is even more active in western countries. Let's take a closer look at the life of foreign paparazzi.
