One of the many types of photography in the world, celebrity photography is only one. Celebrity photography is a form of photojournalism where the subjects can be music artists, actors, sports stars and even politicians. Most commonly used by newspapers and magazines, are three type of photography:

3) Paparazzi

The paparazzi are known best for surrounding celebrities and capturing images of them with or without consent in hope of catching exclusive new images. They mostly frowned upon for their desperation and never-ending attempts to take images of celebrities, paparazzi and will even resort to very long telephoto lens shots or even secret, more discreet photography.

I believe celebrity photography is quite a good type of photography as it is necessary to have images of stars to go along with newspaper articles and magazine columns for people who are especially interested in celebrities. Though the paparazzi are probably the worst kind of people to take photos of famous people, they still manage to produce great images and sometimes, ones as good as those taken in studios.
