Paparazzi Master Class
Paparazzi Master Class
Today the term “paparazzi” couldn’t be more familiar, but we owe it to
Paparazzo, the photographer character in Federico Fellini’s 1960 film
La Dolce Vita. Real-life photographer Rino Barillari is thought to have been
Fellini’s inspiration for Paparazzo, and the August 7 opening of the first-ever
exhibit in Russia of Barillari’s work revealed that Paparazzo’s Russian protégés
have learned their lessons well. The live flashes died down, leaving Barillari’s
photographs of the world’s rich and famous on display in the open air along the
street. If you want to experience the limelight, the exhibit runs through October
10 outdoors along Moscow’s Stoleshnikov Pereulok.
