Jamie Fawcett- known by some as Australia's top paparazzo, the celebrity photographer who has 'history' with certain celebrities, the photographer who will go the extra mile to get the big shot.

 

The Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) recently profiled Jamie Fawcett on their award winning series about the lives of significant and/or interesting Australian people, Australian Story. The feature was entitled 'The Money Shot' and with that title the ABC managed to sum Jamie up completely. The ‘Money Shot’ is what Jamie is all about- getting the best photo of the right person, at the right time. By putting all the elements of celebrity news with top quality celebrity pictures, Jamie’s photos sell, and his photos sell magazines and publications worldwide.

 

Jamie’s paparazzi career began quite by accident. While working as a journalist in Europe on a high profile case, his editor called him to ask ‘did he have a camera’. When Jamie replied that he did not, he was told to ‘get a camera, and get a photo’. Jamie did both and was paid much more for the photo than for writing the article. At that point Jamie realized that all of his talents, skills and experience were ideally suited to the work of paparazzi photography. His first celebrity photo was of Tom Cruise and he has not looked back since. By staying on the pulse of Celebrity News, and putting high quality Celebrity Pictures together with that news, he’s become known as the guy who gets the shot- who gets "The Money Shot!"
