PARIS — The International Guild of Paparazzi and Candid Photojournalists (IGPCP) has formally condemned recent celebrity behavior, specifically the 'alarming trend' of public figures turning cameras on their dedicated photographers. The move comes after pop sensation Chappell Roan was filmed in Paris, not just ignoring, but actively documenting the paparazzi who were attempting to capture her image.

"This is a clear violation of the unspoken contract between celebrity and lens," stated IGPCP spokesperson, Barry 'Flash' Gordon, in an emergency press release. "Our members are professionals. They arrive, they snap, they disappear into the night. When a subject begins to document *us*, it creates an uncomfortable, frankly unprofessional, work environment. Where's the mystique? Where's the chase?"

Gordon elaborated that such actions disrupt the delicate ecosystem of celebrity culture, arguing that paparazzi are merely providing a vital public service. "People want to see what their idols are doing at 2 AM outside a bistro. It's not our fault they're out there. We're just the messengers, albeit messengers with very long lenses and a penchant for dimly lit alleys."

The IGPCP is reportedly drafting new guidelines, including a potential 'no-look, no-film' clause for celebrity contracts, to protect their members from what they term 'reverse-paparazzi aggression.'
