Product Description

Product Description

Darryn Lyons is the self-made millionaire behind the international cult of celebrity photography. In this fascinating expose of life behind the lens, he spills the beans about his outrageous and dangerous exploits as a newspaper photographer and paparazzo, and takes us ringside for some momentous events from around the globe.But it's not just long lenses and long-legged celebrities - his is a story of hard graft, hard tactics and hard choices in a notoriously fast-paced, dog-eat-dog professional environment, where a boy from Down Under, armed with little more than a camera, a memorable haircut and a passionate will to win, could come out on top to build a new empire in the heart of London.This is the story of a man who has put everything on the line - his marriage, his fortune, even his life - all for the rush of getting the best picture. It's also a jaw-dropping insight into the world of high society and modern celebrity, and the overwhelming power of the image.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just another story of celebrityville, 25 Jun 2008
I have read and enjoyed other 'write and tell' tales about the celebrity circuit by the likes of Piers Morgan and the 3am girls and have enjoyed them, this one goes some way into the same lifestyles, but it also concentrates on other issues such as Darryn's life as a war photographer. There is not quite as much information on celebrities as in the other books, so you may find it slighly disappointing if you are simply after lots of juicy gossip. Lots of good interesting information about how his business evolved, but for me the description of the wars in Bosnia was not something that gelled particularly well with the celeb factor! This is not a complaint as it is a part of his career as a photographer that he lived through and of course he wanted to put his experiences in his book, but I preferred to read about the entertainment/celeb side rather than reading about wars. Darryn Lyons tells his story in a no nonsense way but does not delve that deeply into his own personal life, so you don't really get a real sense of empathy for him. From his own description he is a chancer and works incredibly hard to make things happen for him, that you have to admire. I would recommend this book, it is interesting in most places, but don't expect it to be another book on celebrity gossip.
