“I have also captured Miami locals like DJ Khaled in his element - at his birthday party in December during Art Basel with his wife, who was pregnant at the time. They’re all iconic moments that are lively, fun and in the spirit of Miami’s exciting nightlife, and without the pretentiousness of Los Angeles or New York.” More and more, Miami is becoming a hotspot for celebrities. Many stars have homes (or second homes) in Miami, from Cher to Madonna, Tommy Hilfiger, Jennifer Lopez and Julio Iglesias, but as we know, all the stars fly in for Art Basel, from Cardi B to Kim Kardashian. “Just as real estate is growing in Miami, so is the demand for a wilder nightlife, as well as more high-profile VIP party spots, which many celebrities are spotted at, as well,” says Sayej. This book, Paparazzi Bitch, not only is a testament of her success as a female photographer, but her sharp elbows to gain access to celebrities. It comes down to know-how, getting on the right guest list, and being faster in the face of other photographers. “It’s more than just getting ‘the money shot,’” says Sayej. “I love photographing celebrities because they bring the hype to any party, film premieres, or red carpets – the three core types of places where I photograph them. When they arrive at public events, they’re prepared to be photographed in public, glammed up and all smiles.” While many photographers, and smartphones, are always ready to shoot celebs when they make public appearances, she hopes her iconic, black and white photos offer something more. “I hope my photos offer a genuine moment or behind-the-scenes glance that offers more insight and depth than other photographers,” says Sayej. “The best photographs, after all, capture someone’s soul.” Links and contact info: nadjasayej.com @nadjasayej on Instagram Buy the book at blurb.com Social tags: @nadjasayej on Instagram @paparazzi.bitch on Instagram @nadjasayej on Twitter
