Meet Diggzy, fashion’s favorite paparazzi
Diggs began his career early. Interested in sports photography as a child, he started taking pictures at youth baseball games and athletic events in his hometown in New Jersey when he was just 11. A natural entrepreneur, Diggs quickly discovered that he could turn a profit selling his images to the parents of the players. From then on, he knew photography would play a role in his future.
The encounter would prove educational. Where most celebrity off-duty pictures are shot on the fly without the star’s consent, Diggs understands the value of building a rapport with his subjects, who he seeks to portray in their best light. “Slowly, I became friendly with people; they would see me have a positive experience each time, and the relationship would grow,” says Diggs. “Just being a down-to-earth regular person and treating people like they are people is enormous.
Like many, Diggs has seen the nature of his work shift during the past year. Due to the coronavirus crisis, fewer people are out and about, with the majority of stars taking this as an opportunity to curate their galleries on social media and hiring photographers directly. For Diggs, who moved to Los Angeles when work dried up on the East Coast, these changes presented some unlikely opportunities. “The mindset has completely changed,” he says. “People understand that it benefits them.
