No Pictures - Ron Galella - powerHouse Books

Galella personalised the term paparazzo (Italian for buzzing mosquito), redefining the relationship between movie star and photographer. As the most famous US celebrity photojournalist, he has been catching the private moments of public figures for more than three decades. This is a chronicle of the disputes and confrontations that have accompanied his work with the likes of Marlon Brando, Sean Penn and Richard Burton. Driven by a mad curiosity and a dogged insistence that celebrities are fair game, he continues to take risks and make enemies to get the perfect shot.
