Famous: Paparazzi Photos of Stars by Mouron and Rostain
Pascal Rostain and Bruno Mouron, two French paparazzi, have published a book titled "Famous" with Robert Laffont. The black-and-white album captures celebrities from the golden age of photojournalism, including Kate Moss, Spike Lee, Liza Minnelli, Brigitte Bardot, Peter Falk, Orson Welles, Richard Burton, Monica Vitti, and Dirk Bogarde. The photographs were taken in locations such as Los Angeles, Paris, London, Tahiti, Pesaro, and New York. The subjects include actors, writers, models, heads of state, and royalty. The photographers describe themselves as "mercenaries" and their vocabulary as akin to big game hunting. A standout image is a 1988 portrait of Samuel Beckett at a café on Place Denfert-Rochereau.
