“We were making more money than we knew what do with,” he said.Īll that money drove paps to extreme lengths to get the photo. Harrison rattled off some of his own examples: $10,000 for a snap of Ben Affleck buying books on poker, $20,000 for Britney Spears getting her nails done, $10,000 for Faith Hill drinking a milkshake at Johnny Rockets. They were accompanied by "kill fees," in which an outlet paid top dollar for celeb photos - not to publish, but to keep them out of the hands of competitors. Bidding wars that pushed prices into the six figures were frequent. The ensuing competition fueled a frenzied demand for “Stars Just Like Us” photos to fill the surge in magazine page counts. A short while later, other celebrity magazines launched - In Touch Weekly, Life & Style Weekly, and OK!. The boom began in 2000, when Us Weekly went from monthly to weekly and started a head-to-head war with People magazine. “It was like a gold rush," Harrison said. The big payoff at the time was still in the story-driven photos - baby bumps, new couples, affairs, arrests, vacations, stints in rehab.īut soon, the stars became “just like us,” and everything changed. So I would go down to the Baywatch set and take pictures of Pamela Anderson, sell it, and roam around town.”Īt first, there was little interest in Harrison’s brand of photography. Being in L.A., a lot of things were being filmed. “That just seemed to be where the money was.
“No one was just roaming the street finding celebrities and taking pictures of them,” Harrison said. Harrison wasn’t good at “doorstepping” - waiting outside a celebrity’s home and then tailing them around town - so he developed his own niche, one that would come to dominate the tabloid circuit. “Maybe there was five of us,” he told BuzzFeed News. When he started his career as a pap in 1995, Harrison said there was hardly any money to be made.
