Synopsis

"Voyeur. Bandit. Hound. Ron Galella has been called every name in the book. In 1955, fresh out of the United States Air Force, he became a paparazzo--and redefined the genre. From his notoriously obsessive treatment of Jackie Onassis and the subsequent legal battles associated with it, to his alarmingly beautiful photographs of celebrities in the 60s and 70s, Galella has always been in a category of his own. Possessed of a unique talent to catch stars at moments when they seemed most alive, most human, most stylish, Galella was able to do something no other celebrity watcher was able to do: become a star himself."

About the Author:

Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1931, Ron Galella graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, with a degree in professional arts. During the Korean War, he was a ground and air photographer for the United States Air Force. In 1955, he became a freelance magazine and newspaper photographer, and went on to work for hundreds of publications around the world, including "Time, LIFE, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Vanity Fair, W, The New Yorker, The New York Times", and "Rolling Stone". America's most controversial celebrity photographer, he was dubbed "paparazzo extraordinaire" by "Newsweek", featured on the cover of "LIFE", punched in the jaw by Marlon Brando, beaten up by Richard Burton's bodyguards, and hosed down by Brigitte Bardot.
