  Darryn Lyons is the self-made millionaire behind the international cult of celebrity photography. In this fascinating expose of life behind the lens, he spills the beans about his outrageous and dangerous exploits as a newspaper photographer and paparazzo, and takes us ringside for some momentous events from around the globe.But it's not just long lenses and long-legged celebrities - his is a story of hard graft, hard tactics and hard choices in a notoriously fast-paced, dog-eat-dog professional environment, where a boy from Down Under, armed with little more than a camera, a memorable haircut and a passionate will to win, could come out on top to build a new empire in the heart of London.This is the story of a man who has put everything on the line - his marriage, his fortune, even his life - all for the rush of getting the best picture. It's also a jaw-dropping insight into the world of high society and modern celebrity, and the overwhelming power of the image.
