The Soul of a Paparazzo

A Q&A with iconic celebrity shutterbug Brad Elterman.

A spectacular interview (the fantastic photos notwithstanding):

What are your favorite images that you've taken through the years?

My favorite is Bob Dylan [below] backstage at The Roxy. Ronee Blakley who appears in the photo introduced me to Dylan and he asked me to set up this wonderful photograph of him with Robert DeNiro, Lainie Kazan, David Blue, Sally Kirkland and Martine Getty. I swear that today I can still feel the adrenaline rush. There are so many other cool moments. The Ramones, Joan Jett, Frank Sinatra. Photographers today just do not know what it is like to make a photograph of a real icon. The stars who the magazines run today are totally boring to me.
