Description:
Darryn Lyons is a self-made millionaire. He is also the man behind the cult of celebrity photography. In this high-flying autobiography, he tells of how he started working for a local regional paper in Australia and landed his first front page with a unique shot of the Queen with her head thrown back, laughing uproariously. Soon enough, Darryn was on his way to Fleet Street with only $500 in his pocket. A fortuitous meeting with Rupert Murdoch in a lift ensured a job at News of the World. Driven purely by the thrill of adventure, Darryn did two tours of duty as a staff photographer in Bosnia, where he was shot at by snipers and witnessed the aftermath of horrific war crimes. Even under heavy fire and intense personal danger, Darryn couldn't help but think of the great photographs he was getting ... He then settled down to chasing celebrities and setting up his own paparazzi business, Big Pictures, on the side. This business is now worth over $50 million. The story of Big Pictures is a jaw-dropping insight into the world of high society and modern celebrity, and the overwhelming power of the image. From the sinking of the Marchioness ferry on the Thames one New Year's Eve to exposing David Beckham's affair in a Spanish nightclub to the death of Princess Diana, Darryn Lyons has been ringside for so many of the big events of the last decade. Here, for the first time, he tells the story behind the photographs. But it comes at a price- this is also the story of a man who will puteverything on the line-his marriage, his fortune, his life just for the adrenaline rush of getting a great picture.
