Ron Galella (born 1931) is the original paparazzi photographer-"the
Godfather of the U.S. paparazzi culture," as "Time" magazine once
dubbed him. Before Galella, celebrity photographs were tightly
controlled by the Hollywood studio system and PR agencies; after
him, shots of stars caught unawares, whether stumbling out of night
clubs drunk or just shopping for groceries, became part and parcel
of how we perceive the rich and famous. "My idea of a good picture
is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something
unfamous," Andy Warhol once said. "It's being in the right place at
the wrong time. That's why my favorite photographer is Ron
Galella." Some of Gallela's most famous photographs include
covertly or spontaneously snatched portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy,
Marlon Brando, Greta Garbo, Andy Warhol, Sean Penn, Robert Redford,
Muhammad Ali, Madonna, Mick Jagger and Audrey Hepburn; often he has
paid a high price for these photographs, having been assaulted
(most famously by Marlon Brando) and taken to court (his pursuit of
Jackie Kennedy was so obsessive and relentless that she took out a
restraining order). Other celebrities, such as Warhol and Elizabeth
Taylor, who used his photographs in her biography, have welcomed
his attention. This volume presents more than 100 of his
controversial photographs from the past half-century.
