5. RISK VS RETURN

There are a variety of tactics to obtain pictures once you find out a possible location for a shoot. Unfortunately, sometimes you run the risk of getting sued, but if the picture is exclusive it may be worth the risk. Some paparazzi go to extremes by climbing on roofs or renting a helicopter. It is important to know how much a picture is worth before spending the money. Make sure there is a solid story behind the picture before taking the risk, because it could cost you more than money if you are injured trying to get that perfect shot from a tree limb.
