Light traffic passes at dusk in downtown Los Angeles amid the coronavirus pandemic on March 31, 2020.
With the European market"dead" and the famous-face-in-a-mask picture soon to be “boring,” the head of a photo agency assesses the celebrity photo business. As the COVID-19 epidemic rages in Los Angeles, stars are social distancing like everyone else. As a result, the paparazzi business — already under significant threat as stars increasingly short-circuit the market for candid photos and videos by flooding social media with their own content — is facing its leanest period yet.
"It was bad, but this coronavirus has definitely created another blow," says Francois Navarre, owner of X17, whose photo agency is one of the most prominent firms in the sector. "It’s becoming very fragile."about why medical masks ruin pictures, what tabloid readers want to see right now and the new-to-L.A. couple who he thinks may yet save the local paparazzi corps when the "Safer at Home" directive is lifted.It’s totally unknown territory.
The other day we got Cara Delevingne with a mask [at Erewhon Market]. But there’s only so many times you can get [someone in] a mask before it’s boring. And now 90 percent of the celebrities are wearing a mask when they go out — they’re taking the opportunity to cover themselves that way. The first time, people care, you get some sells, it’s a novelty. But people want to see a face in pictures. The expression matters.
