  Paparazzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paparazzi is a plural term (paparazzo is the singular form) for photographers who take candid photographs of celebrities, usually by relentlessly shadowing them in their public and private activities.
It is this antagonistic interaction that is the hallmark of a true paparazzo; however, the term is often used erroneously for photographers who merely take pictures of people of note.
Paparazzo is a real Italian surname[1]; the plural "paparazzi" was formed according to one of the word-formation rules for plurals in the Italian language (the -o in singular nouns becomes -i in the plural.)

 ArtForum: Shooting stars - paparazzi
Despite the pleasures of saying "paparazzo" when we mean "taker of candid celebrity photographs," we should understand that the paparazzo is a fiction, not a vocation; it is a complicated cultural construction, composed certainly of recognizable behaviors but also of misty projections.
The paparazzo can only condemn himself (the paparazzo, in myth, is always male) with the image he has pilfered: the image is proof of the perforation, the laceration he has committed in the fabric of the decent, the private, the civic.
Though the celebrity is the one ostensibly invaded, the paparazzo is also making vivid - making documentary - his own abject status as voleur, voyeur, render of veils: he is publicizing his abrupt ejection from the civilized.

 Remembering the original 'paparazzo' - 9/1/97
The Italian word (paparazzo is singular and paparazzi the plural) describes the freelance photographers who started out in the 1950s with slow, sputtering motor scooters, cumbersome box-shaped cameras with flash bulbs -- and patience.
Fellini's landmark 1960 film La Dolce Vita starred the late Marcello Mastroianni as a frustrated gossip reporter who worked with a photographer named Paparazzo.
The photographer's character was inspired by Tazio Secchiaroli, one of a cadre of street photographers who exposed the secrets of movie stars during the heyday of Rome's cafe society.
