Ohhh.. are we allowed to say young in these times of anti-ageist legislation?

Someone would have a lot of fun doing this job.

Sounds interesting (unfortunately I'm a bit too old to wizz around on a moped) if this is the same "Big pictures" as http://www.mrpaparazzi.com/ then it seems like a genuine offer.

Just out of curiousity, what sort of financial incentives are on offer?

thats a good opportunity! iv done media for Alevels at college, and editing, and its brilliant! experience and training people never get that opportunity coz i have looked everywhere and you always have to be experienced or with licence. and your own equipment.

i am from wales, and it would be too far for me to travel to london, and it is a shame.... im looking more into photographer work experience, if any let me know! plz!! lol... paparazzi`s are brilliant! i met 2 paparzzi poeple in newquay west wales few weeks ago, when kiera knightly and sienna milla was down filming, and i took pictures of them with my own but also took pictures with the paparazzi on theyr camera, and it was fun to experience that, especially in new quay a small town with 2 A list celebs! amazing but unfortunate for me to get invloved witch id love to some time! id say go 4 it to people who want the chance to do something great! rachel hughes wales.
