LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — In one of the first shows of its kind, Henry Flores, co-owner of Buzz Foto, LLC, a Los Angeles-based paparazzi agency, is hosting a permanent retrospective of contemporary celebrity photos in “A Day In The Life of The Paparazzi!” An opening night celebrity reception will be announced with the arrival of his highly anticipated book, A Day In The Life Of The Paparazzi! “Henry Flores brings elegance and art form to his paparazzi style photography. We are more than excited to be the host of this once in a lifetime opportunity”, says Michael Washington, General Manager. The book everyone’s buzzing about is expected to climb its way to the bestseller list. The sneak peak photo exhibition, is currently open, and premiere of the book, will be held at the prestigious Paparazzi Ristorante and Chophouse.

Encapsulating the present moment of our culture and the worldwide phenomenon of celebrity fixation, A Day in The Life of The Paparazzi! profiles the evolution of pop culture imagery and showcases the modern-day icons in a historical context, including iconic images of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian. “Henry Flores’ collection clearly illustrates that paparazzi photography can be a form of art. Executed properly, images of today’s celebrities can exude an incredible amount of style and elegance that portray our ever-changing and exciting pop culture. Photos such as these are destined to one day grace the walls of major museums and galleries,” said Brad Elterman, Buzz Foto co-founder. “Consider Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans and Helen Levitt; each took photos of individuals without permission and set out to sell them. Their iconic photographs imitate the paparazzi style and today hang in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Henry Flores’ photographs have the potential to hang next to those great masters.”

About Henry Flores
Henry Flores graduated from California Polytechnic State University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, and began what he thought would be a long and prosperous career as an electrical engineer designing new technology for the medical, telecommunications and military / defense industries. In need of a hobby to release his creative energy while in college, he fell in love with photography, seeing it as a hobby that he could take into retirement. In 2003, Henry received an offer to work for three months under the training and guidance of an experienced paparazzo. After years shooting as a freelance paparazzi photographer, in 2006, discovering that he had a knack for the profession, Henry decided to launch himself full-time in the celebrity photojournalist industry and formed BuzzFoto, a Los Angeles-based photo agencies, which specialized in providing celebrity photos to magazines, newspapers and blogs worldwide to further develop their vision of “Paparazzi as an Art Form!”. http://www.henryflores.com
