“Can I call you back in, like, 10 minutes?” asked Giles Harrison, a longtime celebrity photographer and owner of London Entertainment Group, a paparazzi collective. He was driving around the Venice Beach area of Los Angeles in his Ford Expedition when he spotted a star: Tim Robbins, on his bike, wearing a mask. Harrison politely hung up and got his shots.
Which makes those photos of Robbins all the more important to get, even though, as Harrison acknowledged, Robbins, the 61-year-old actor and former partner of Susan Sarandon, is not currently a “big deal” in the tabloid world. The outlook in New York City is even bleaker. “I could name on one hand the amount of celebs that are still in New York right now,” said Miles Diggs, a 25-year-old celebrity photographer who has been working in the city since dropping out of a photojournalism program at New York University eight years ago.
But it is “a $40 to $50 photo,” he said. “She does it every day at 7:00 sharp, and many people have gone to try and get their pennies off of the shot.” Tabloids have filled their pages with these shots from Instagram, which makes it harder for agencies to sell photos. And since March, there have not been nearly enough photos to sell. Bauer, 51, went from moving 7,000 to 8,000 photos per month to 500 to 1,000. His agency canceled contracts with freelance photographers and is relying on a Paycheck Protection Program loan to keep paying a few people in the office.
Over the course of his career, Diggs has built relationships with stars like Justin Bieber and Grande, and if some of them decide they would like to set up some shots, he is all for it. There’s Kylie Jenner, in full hair and makeup, slowly and almost sensually putting on a face mask on an outing in Beverly Hills, in photos conveniently taken a few days after less flattering shots of her wearing no makeup were everywhere on Twitter.
Affleck and his newish girlfriend, actress Ana de Armas, have been photographed walking around his neighborhood more than a dozen times. Sometimes they wear masks. Sometimes they walk their dogs. Sometimes they stop at Dunkin’ or — Affleck, specifically — sneak a cigarette. As of this week, they are wearing matching heart necklaces and sharing clothes.
