  • U sick pig shooting flowers

  • 0:30 listen closley and hear someone chuckle

  • Comment removed

  • "I like faster lenses because there a bit faster" NOOOOOOOOO ACTUALLY?! I HAD NO IDEA!!!!

  • no lens caps?

  • @timmyusa UV flters. No time to de-cap.

  • pretty interesting. I did wonder why he spent the majority of time on the bag he LEAVES IN THE CAR lol.

    I'm not gonna trash the vid coz it was exactly what I was interested in (what cams are used for what etc).

    I don't get why he's saying other paps are inferior coz they get closer, like just because he doesn't get in the crowds (superior lens) he is better...

    LOVE the pepper spray - TWO KINDS lol, depending on the situation? Hope he doesn't leave it in the car...

  • The way this guy breathes.... might wanna invest on some exercise, buddy.

  • @LazyScoutJace It's the belly fat. The dreaded belly fat all males hate to get. Once you get it, nearly impossible to get rid of. Exercise doesn't cut it. Have to eat stritcly vegetables and fish.

  • @LazyScoutJace Stage fright.

  • Hi, great video... Do you mind where I ask you got these bags, I am looking for one in the UK and not having much luck. Thanks!

  • did he say gang bang?..

  • @ilhtennek Yes hi did say gang bang haha

  • You're the type that gives photography a bad rep!!!!!!!!!!!! dick.

  • Comment removed

  • Cannon staying in the car as it should !

  • When a celebrity runs you over, or security guard bitch slaps you, what do you have your bag for that? LOL

  • ok we got it! youre the best paparazzos cause you shoot manual! really you sound like a douche

  • Haha you don't look like a student at all. You are to old to look like one. Haha.

    Not even close.

  • thank u for intro to your bags ,could u plz talk about camera setting for day , night ?

  • paparazzi is harassing and following celebs

    THAT IS NOT PHOTOGRAPHY

  • Wow, this guy is sooo cool. All manual. My hero. He really knows what he's doing. The other paps should learn his awesome ways. I lov him. He's my hero. .

  • Wow, this guy is sooo cool. All manual. My hero. He really knows what he's doing. The other paps should learn his awesome ways. I lov him. He's my hero. .

  • CUACK...

  • a faster lens blurs the background, hahaha

  • @bschinn problem? hes right lol :S

  • he sounds mexican

  • Scum couldnt make it shooting portraiture obviously.

  • I usually carry my protection in my wallet.

  • interesting to see the Sigma 120-300 being used by a pro. So they must be good enough!

  • AND SO FORTH

  • The only word i heard was 'So forth'

  • He was okay till he starting talking about how the noobs don't know how to use their camera and have all on auto. the photography he does is a basic point and shoot that one could do with a canon elph. the short stocky guy with the ed hardy shirt wants to feel big. when he says he feels sorry for the others cause they don't know what they are doing...they know exactly what they are doing...they are making a buck and taking it away from you. stop being so bitter.

  • @TFrax - Actually you sound bitter hence picking on his Ed Hardy shirt...LOL

    And I like how he mentioned he doesn't like to get in the celebrity's faces.

    But rather have the necessary lenses to get the exclusive shots.

    He seems very professional.

  • @RedFuelDelux - c'mon its Ed Hardy! haha.

  • whatsinmycamerabag . com HEY PEOPLE CHECK THIS NEW WEBSITE ESPECIALLY FOR WHATS IN MY CAMERA BAG VIDEOS, START UPLOADING THEM SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE TO LOOK, SPREAD THE WORD

  • basically ... auto with continious shooting and external flash

  • not sure if it has been asked quite yet, but what kind of bags are those?

    ive been looking for a very comfortable bag that can decently hold a few lenses and a full body slr. and cant seem to find one that looks as comfy as a few i see like these.

  • @c0ll1z10n thinktank retrospective great bags

  • @JMichaelShipman wrong... this is domke bags

  • @WhiteAce168 ok but the think tank bags are basically the same but a lot better. the dont crush up like those

  • @JMichaelShipman i know, i have a retrospective 30 and it's a really a good bag

  • its because of people like this that princess diana died !

  • I work at a daily national newspaper, and there are elements of paps in most media photographer's jobs all the time. We do stuff like 'doorsteps' or 'doorknocks' where you go to someone's house who doesn't want to talk and then the second the open the door you snap them long range. Same with court assignments. The thing with photojournalists is that they actually care a bit more about composition, and put some thought into it, not just firing their camera like a gun and hoping for a headshot.

  • Great advice on "staying incognito on the street" - carry your bag.

  • @Connectornz hahaahahahahahahaha

  • holy crap there are people that dont change their settings at all im only 13 and i shott all manual all the time its just easier if you know how to use it

  • Celebrity people hate you... because you are a parasite to them! GTH RIH

    sorry in the case that you are not a paparazzi

  • Jerkoff.

  • Manual? Why? You're faster than the camera? You're all ego. Wow, you're so cool, you use manual. If you were any good, first of all, you'd have a real camera. If you like to adjust your settings, aren't nikons ergonomically superior? You're an egomaniac. I'm so sure that you're the only guy out there that knows what he's doing. I hope a celeb busts your sigma so you cry like a baby.

  • shit i just have my back pack. i cant afford fucken cameras or lenses like that.. ill just have to have my d5000 -__-

  • most disgusting job ever, wierd dudes sittin in bushes stalkin  people, yes they are celebrities, but they are normal people these photographers wouldnt want there privacy tookin away

  • @nate122992

    90% of the celebrity out there this days are famus ONLY for the paparazzi. And I'm not talking about actors. Thousand of people buy gossips magazines and where do you think that pictures come from?

  • @skymates84 its still rude...

  • Er benutzt die 40d, könnt Ihr oder jemand anders mir in deutsch über die 40d berichten?

  • gangbangs?! im sure he ment team struggle snuggle

  • seems like a lot of gear.. I think you could get away with a gh2, kit lens and a flash... Acheive your shallow DOF in post.

  • Your breathing and smacking when you talk is annoying

  • DAMN THAT SIGMA DOES WORK! Im 15 and i just began professional photography lol i know im 15 but i have a studio also and i have a 7d and the only lenses i have is the stock lens 18-55 that came on my old t2i and a 75-300 zoom. They are good enough for me currently because i really dont need a $1500 lens right now. Check me out on facebook Shane Suban add me.

  • LOL!! 84 people are harassed celebrities!!

  • The guy may be a profsessional but he's so far up his own arse its untrue

  • 84 people have point-and-shoot cameras

  • LOL! I love your sense of humor Henry!!!! Keep up the good work!

  • My girlfriend got gangbanged once!

  • @MrMikeMarquez She told me she wanted it , and if i didnt she would punish me .

  • I love how he just drops the gang bang line like it ain't no thing.

  • sad job to be proud of.. lol

  • lol gang bangs..

  • She couldn't have at least chosen a pose that her breasts looked good in? -Naked Lady Gaga. C000M

  • lol, shooting flowers.

    

  • @Skibsie LOL

  • does anyone know whats the name of those bags?

  • Piece of Shit Glass that wide angle lens stop being cheap and go buy the best

  • WORKING photographer. He never claimed to be a professional photographer, and never claimed to have the best gear. This video is intended to show you what it takes THIS GUY to work as a paparazzi. He's showing you what he thinks the least amount of gear is for him, and giving you his reasons why.

  • All you haters need to get off your computer and go take some photos seeing as you're so "pro". Or are you too scared you'll fail? Scoping YouTube videos in attempt to learn how to use all that mad gear you bought cos you finally realized after spending all that money that it's not the "pro" gear which makes you a good photographer

  • Chino, homes. You're doing it wrong.

  • Fuck, I want his lene's. :(

  • he is a pro.

  • this gut is garbage. lol!!! 40d!!!??? lol!!! his lenses for a papparazzi are beginner at best. what a wanna be. lol!!!

  • @820e4cf7jh Doesn't sound like a wannabe to me.

  • @820e4cf7jh this video was made in 08' tho,

  • lol gangbangs

  • This guy is a good paparazzi, he said it, "today photographers tape the cameras and get 3 ft close to the celebrity"

    He used to shoot with a 100-400mm!!!!!!!

    Respect

  • well i dont know if you went fullframe yet but you should if your a paparazzi so you get a better wide angle

  • This guy telling him to go back to school so he can learn english is just jealous cuz this guy has all the gear he wishes he had :) what a lame! This was all good info

  • @Nightshade1881 I know .... This guy has some issues LOL and If you look at how much the wide angle lens cost that he has it is bloody expensive. It is not a bad lens

  • @Nightshade1881 - Actually, his gear isn't that great at all. A 40D camera is under $1,000, compared to the 1DS Mk III that the real pros use. My Canon 1DS and my walking around lens is worth more than this guys entire kit. When you have to talk about how bad every other photographer is in your videos, you probably suck. Just sayin.

  • @PaulPradaShow and he probably will outshoot you any day

  • @TheSupasimon - highly doubtful.

  • go back to college and learn english 101 dude.... that wide angle lens is not even L series that is a cheap lens. your mouth is so dry have you been doing cocain

  • @omargabrielm That wide angle cost 1000$ be quiet

  • go back to college and learn english 101 dude.... that wide angle lens is not even L series that is a cheap lens.

  • go back to college and learn english 101 dude

  • im a combined photographer, i do the both, and im not insulted by this video.

    ppl who are inslulted are just jealous that they are not as good as he is xD

  • regarding the fucking pepper spray!?!? I know photogs in LA are basically crazy motherfuckers, but who u gonna spray with it?!?!?! fucking Paris Hilton in the face?!?! what's wrong with you?

  • @cooperativ your logic is so wrong just think for more than 2 seconds before posting a comment...

  • @teamforteress thank you for an extremely valuable advice, Sir, I will it and put on a wall.

  • @cooperativ He said he carries it, just in case drunk people want to jack his gear (which is worth thousands of dollars). Or in case a "superfan", who doesn't understand the relationship between the celebrity and the photographer decides to attack him. He doesn't use it on celebrities, just carries it for his own protection.

  • alright, if u r a pap, theen you have a long lense, say 600mm or 800mm, than you have 300mm 2.8, well 24-70 obviously, then just in case a 70-200, which you don't use often, because you have a 300 :-D than you have smth like MKIII Ds, cause you want a full frame to further crop the subject and you don't want the fucking noise, cause you gonna shoot in bad light, like 99%. Because of that, you will also probably need smth like 200mm 2.0. Then u have smth like 7D to make videos and use crop

  • @cooperativ - A full frame camera does not "further crop the subject", in fact, it does the opposite because it is WIDE angle. An APS-C camera with a 1.6 CROP sensor, like the 7D is what crops the subject better, not the 1DS Mark III.

  • thumbs up if you boned his mom

  • this dude thinks his the only photographer in the world!!!!

    how come i never heard of your work

  • @an2ny1625 - You don't have to necessarily HEAR about his work.

    Perhaps you've SEEN his work but haven't bothered to look into the

    credits. There's a difference.

  • A stalker gangbanging the celebrities?

  • OMG A STALKER!

  • I thought I liked this guy, but then he started saying that his job is harder and more "special" and requires a different type of "skill" than a photojournalist. Photojournalists dont live in Hollywood. Photojournalists walk the hills of Pakistan with Marines dodging bullets to get ONE shot for a magazine. And real photographers dont use fast lenses? WTF im an amateur and keep a 50mm f/1.8 and most professionals have lenses faster than 2.8. He's and ignorant fuck, he pisses me off

  • real photographers get in there and get the shot. photojournalists get killed every year getting the photos that others are to scared to get you have to be willing to put your self on the line for showing what is really there

  • in gang bang's ?!!!

  • Are all Paparazzi's Fat?

  • @ThaSean007 yea,not any fatter than your mom though

  • @demonfrog1776 Really? Do you really have to go there? Listen if you're fat dude its ok...there are gyms that can help you out.

  • @ThaSean007 yea i really have to go there,

  • @demonfrog1776 Ok, how about this...Go sell your camera and use the money to pay for a Gym Membership you fried chicken inhaling, gravy drinking fat bastard...oh and by the way...Your Photos are Horrible...so do yourself a favor and STFU Tourist.

  • @ThaSean007 your mom is the one that needs to go to the gym toby,kunta,shatata or whatever your name is.hahahahahahahhahaha,black people like fried chicken and colored greens or whatever you people eat.or whatever your welfare food stamps allow you to buy when you dont trade them for drugs.hahahahahahahaheheheheha­hahahahahehehehehahahaha,titti­es,

  • @demonfrog1776 Oh so you're white?...Interesting...hey at least I have a mom you freakin orphan...why don't you go snot some coke or do heroin you trailer trash Cracker. You probably have Mullet too.

  • @ThaSean007 yawn....you just like all other black people are starting to bore me.

  • @demonfrog1776 and You're like all the other white people trying to be black...kudos douchebag.

  • "...and so forth..."

  • he breathing is making me ill

  • @carerra911 Hi mic is against his throat...treating us to a lovely little ear tingle every time he gulps!! :S

  • this kind of photography would actually be pretty hard

  • impressive :D

  • hate it when people say all YOU need ! NO it's all YOU need !!!!!!!!!

  • @willjessel2

    well said! :)

  • @BlackflamezzProduct, well put!!!

  • expensive shit :D

  • someones gotta do it...

  • That camera at the end has a telescope for a lens, its one of the biggest I've seen.

  • This is great! And nice tip on the pepper spray! Very helpful. I will buy one for my protection (why? because I work for local press, and I usually encounter people who harasses). And to those other photographers, don't get insulted or whatsoever. But instead, learn from him. We (photographers) all have different workflows and different subjects to photograph. Well, these paparazzis are like war photographers. He's right, a combination of photojournalism and sports photography.

  • so he leaves the pepperspray in his car? ö

  • how is there a 20-70mm L Lens? there was first a 20-80mm L, then a 28-70mm L, then in 2002, there was the 24-70mm L lens

  • I would totally become a papparazzzi just for the excuse of buying some sexy dslrs. But I can't believe they say their photographers.

  • Comment removed

  • @cubeproduktion Shut it

  • without paparazzo all those magazines you idiots enjoy would not exist. without them the entire celebrity world would fall use your brain and think about it. think about the millions these magazines makes. and think about the thousands these people make the amount of work time and effort they have to put into getting their shots. dont judge people before you have been in their shoes

  • what kind of moron tapes a camera and thinks that one setting is universal?

  • It's amazing how ignorant some people are in here. Photography doesn't have to be pretty to be professional. He is telling it like it truly is and not like your little perfect studio or shit immaculate camera. Those making negative comments are truly ignorant and show a complete lack of understanding. Way to go, genius's! Most of ya could probably NEVER get "the shot" in a few seconds like this guy routinely does everyday. Go cry in your milk and/or polish your camera.

  • okay so your telling me that you have 2 bags.... one you carry and one you keep in you *car*... so you just told me you have 8k+ of camera equipment in your CAR and maybe 2k on you......

  • @doomboy829 Actually the lens in the "street" bag runs close to $4k (though it's $2,700 on Amazon right now if anyone's in the market) ...

  • 4:27 It's looks like you're saying that you are way more skilled than a photojournalist. I would agree if you said that although you're in photography you are into another form of photography where different skills are needed rather than saying you're kind of better skilled. At last a conventional photographer does have to make the picture damn great,

    Correct me if I misunderstood, but I don't think i'm the only one who understood it that way. :D

  • this dude is the words biggest dick when it comes to photography. fuck this makes me mad!

  • Where can i buy those satchels, looks pretty cool and even better keeping low profile instead of carrying flashy ones

  • @roshanna Domke.

  • im with goodeye03 on this.

  • this man is not an insult to the Pro World, he is part of it...I've read so many of your comments, and 90% of you are so foolish, having no concept of the business of photography. he is a shooter and gets money for his hard work.; irrelevant of his subject he still gets paid for "The Shot" . Something most Pros hope for everyday.

    Can any of you Moaners say anything constructive?

    The best equipment leads to the better photos, but without someone who knows how to use it,it's worthless.....Like mos

  • @goodeye03 I totally agree, and would love to see even one person get a decent ranged shot with a dslr

  • @starshock01 Thanks, glad to see someone with some intelligence and knowledge of what it's like..

  • Wow! I'm blown away by how negative everyone one is here. This man makes a living shooting photos,hard ones at that.

    Pretty simple, you make money, buy the glass you need, shoot the photo, buy the glass.

    I'm so saddened by the way the "Auto Professionals": have just assumed the market. Everyone is a "Photographer" because of the cameras of today..It sucks,and when you post your work, it's never safe !

    So why "Bust this guys balls.he's just making a living".

  • i like sharper and faster lenses because they are a little SHARPER and faster

  • sure technically hes a photographer, but what he does is not photography. theres no art or creativity there.

  • Why is everyone hating on this guy? Yeah he is a paporazzo, but I still call what he does for a living photography. Like it or not, what these guys do requires skill and in that sense he is a professional.

  • did u just run the la marathon

  • @alexkawz hahahahhahahahahahaha hard ass breathing

  • Where do I apply? I want to be a paparazzi. Except I want ask them ridiculous questions like "what's your shoe size?" and "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"

  • @fabiandesignz well lets add all up

  • I do not like this guy, I hate paparazzi.

  • @gobanbango - What's not to like about this guy? He's a professional.

    Didn't you pay attention to what he said? He shoots celebrities from a

    distance. Unlike those other asshole photographers who like to

    be up-close and start harrassing them.

    Wether like 'em or hate 'em the paparazzi is what keeps the majority of celebrities on the market for projects such as TV, Film, and Music.

    As long as the public continue to BUY entertainment magazines

    The paparazzi will always be needed.

  • @Grooveraider The paparazzi will always be needed by who? For what? World peace? And this guy starts off with his ultawide lens for "gang bangs". Oh yea, sounds like he keeps his distance.

  • @TexPhoto - Obviously you don't know the Hollywood business very well.

    The Paparazzi will always be needed as long as there's a market for it.

    You have noone to blame but average people who buy the entertainment

    magazines the paparazzi sells the images to.

  • @Grooveraider yes he did say he keeps his distance from the celebrtiy, but thats because he likes to keep himself hidden for the exclusiveness, did you not listen to what he said?

    "i try not to use this lense because i work a little different to other people, i like to keep my distance from the celebritys, you know get my exclusives, not give them a clue im there"

  • aka Stalker Bag

  • bitches like britney and lohan need a good paparazzo bombardment

  • OR MAYBE A BOMB

  • Parasite!

  • As matter a fact most of them are educated people..you people cant judge people if you dont somebody to judge you...They're just doing their jobs..We are just people making money and thats the truth maybe its my opinion but think outside the box. Celebrities wants to be famous right"? so they ask for it!

  • wow this guy pretty much explains on how to be a professional stalker!?

  • @MashputopRODUCTIONS welcome to hollywood

  • Yeah,  the guy that tapes his equipment doesnt know what he's doing?? You have your lenses taped.....??

  • i hope he shoots himself in the eye holding that pepper spray like that.

  • you will never be a real photographer , you guys are a joke to the profession

  • @khachank everyone has to make money
