The snapper who snapped

When paparazzo Nick Stern moved to LA he knew it would be rough but the hounding of Britney Spears was too much. He explains why he quit the pap pack in The Guardian.

"After a decade spent snapping celebrities in the British drizzle, Nick Stern moved to Hollywood for a "bit of sunshine". Seven months on, he has become a minor celebrity himself after making a public protest at the way the paparazzi are hounding Britney Spears.

His resignation from the LA-based photo agency Splash last month and subsequent appearances on TV - shot in silhouette to protect his anonymity - have highlighted the no-holds-barred behaviour of photographers scrapping for the shot that could be worth a fortune."
