00:03I have an amazing day, Anna. Thank you.

00:07These eyes, these eyes never fail.

00:13About time, let's go!

00:16How much time do you guys spend in the car?

00:18Woo, child!

00:26What's up, guys? My name is Cesar Pena.

00:2824-7 Paps Official, and this is PJ, Wavy Peter.

00:34I used to watch this show called Celebrity Uncensored,

00:36and I was like, you know what? I want to do this.

00:39My girlfriend, wife now, she's like,

00:41get the f*** out of here, you want to do this?

00:44And I was like, yes.

00:47Cesar, my man!

00:51You are rockin' it, Ri.

00:53Thanks, Cesar.

00:55Good to see you, Ed. Hey, man.

00:57It's been a while, Ed.

00:59So, right now, we're heading downtown,

01:01and we're going to go look for some celebrities.

01:04Some of my favorite guests, definitely anything Rihanna,

01:07is just, that's a little sister right there,

01:09you know what I'm saying?

01:11How's grandma doing?

01:15But I'm your homie, though.

01:19But I always ask you good stuff.

01:23Ri, how you been, Ri?

01:26Ari hasn't been around for a little while.

01:28She's probably one of the most down-to-earth.

01:35We got a couple kiss shots with Ari.

01:37A lot of the fans didn't like that.

01:42And of course, the Kardashians.

01:47Things that me and PJ practice a lot

01:49is treat people the way we want to be treated.

01:51Are there certain things that some paparazzi do

01:54that is a big no-no for you?

01:56No taking pictures of celebrities with their kids.

01:59That's a no, especially celebrities

02:01that don't want their kids to be out there.

02:03Of course, never shoot under their skirts.

02:06You know what I'm saying?

02:07Because some paparazzi,

02:08sometimes they try to shoot under their skirt.

02:10And just respectful.

02:11You know, we're just straight up respectful

02:13to a lot of celebrities.

02:14That's why we're friends with a lot of them.

02:15What's the most you've made in one shoot?

02:17We got the Jay-Z-Beyonce

02:22when Beyonce's sister slapped Jay-Z in the face.

02:27Got the shot to him.

02:28I was like, wow, why he put his hand in his face?

02:31Got in the car.

02:32Next thing I know, we were just getting messages.

02:35Bing, bing, bing.

02:36We were just getting, for about two months straight,

02:39every single day they were selling it.

02:41Like ten at a time.

02:42It was three of us.

02:43All three of us made over six figures off of that.

02:45It was the biggest shot of the year.

02:47How do you know where people are going to be?

02:50I've been doing this job for about,

02:53it's going to be my 17th year.

02:55So during the 17 years,

02:57I never wavered at being a positive paparazzi.

03:01I have a lot of connections from security guards,

03:04from doormen, from drivers.

03:06I know where celebrities love to eat.

03:08I know where celebrities love to stay.

03:10Let's go.

03:11Let's get this done.

03:13This is Miss Natasha,

03:15one of the Forbes Richest Under 40.

03:17Motivational speaker.

03:19Influencer.

03:20Let me see what that's done over here.

03:21Negativo.

03:22Oh, shit.

03:23Anna Wintour.

03:24Anna Wintour.

03:25Anna Wintour.

03:26Anna Wintour.

03:28Yeah.

03:31Have an amazing day, Anna.

03:34The queen, Anna Wintour.

03:36These eyes, these eyes never fail.

03:38They got the paps that's right in the corner.

03:40I was wishing that she crossed over and kept going this way.

03:42What happens if you put exclusive

03:44and then they find out that someone else

03:45did get a shot at her, do you think?

03:47It's an industry, they call it.

03:48Yeah.

03:53Welcome back to the city, guys.

03:57We are here at Zero Bond,

03:59waiting for Miss Gigi Hadid.

04:02These guys like to play a lot of games out here.

04:04But we got to be one step ahead of them.

04:06So, this is the back door to Zero Bond.

04:09Her security guard just walked over here.

04:13We might have played that one wrong.

04:15Sometimes you need to sit in the car.

04:20We missed.

04:21But it happens in this game, you know what I'm saying?

04:24It happens to him every time.

04:27For some reason it happens to him all the time.

04:29Nah, nah, I'm playing, I'm playing.

04:30We are at Carbone

04:32and we are waiting for, potentially, Selena Gomez.

04:36I think he said, for real, Selena Gomez.

04:39It is, it is, I know.

04:42Hey, Selena.

04:45Hi, guys.

04:49Good to see you out here, Selena.

04:51I love that picture with Hailey.

04:56We never leave the city without a big, a big one.

04:59Selena Gomez, she was amazing.

05:02Carbone is always a blessing.

05:04Finished off the night with Selena Gomez.

05:06We struck out with Gigi.

05:08But it was a good day overall.

05:10One thing I want you guys to take away from this video is

05:12not all paparazzis are bad.

05:14We out here doing our thing for the celebrities.

05:18We look out for them, you know.

05:20We try our very best to not be a burden to them.

05:25Most people think we are, but we work hand in hand.
