Model Adam Kaszewski is the stalked celebrity in this paparazzo-inspired editorial for Male Model Scene. Kaszewski is featured in several compromising stages that celebrities are exploited for in tabloid magazines -- think of Britney Spears circa 2007, minus the car smashing.
Photographer Antonis Delta is the paparazzi for these chase-down captures for Male Model Scene. Kaszewski showcases the typical celebrity attitude when a paparazzi gets a bit too close for comfort. Behaving erratically and drinking wildly are just some of the shots Kaszewski showcases in these captures that illustrate the relationship of star and paparazzi.
Kaszewski was styled by Darkwah Kyei – Darkwah & Manya Von Kullmann with garments from Christian Cowan - Sanluis A/W 2013 collection and StapleForTheCoolKids. These in-your-face captures encapsulate everything that's wrong and right in celebrity fascination.
