TMZ has launched a new “Selfie Tour” of Hollywood to help celebrity-spotting tourists improve their photography.
According to The Los Angeles Times, celebrity news outlet TMZ launched its latest venture last month — in the form of a new daily selfie tour of Hollywood, California.
“And along the way we’re also giving some tips here and there; how to get your best shot, where to stand.”
In the piece, The Los Angeles Times reporter Adam Tschorn says the TMZ Hollywood Selfie tour was led by tour guide Eunice Elliott who explained that her selfie expertise came from her stint as a morning news anchor at a Birmingham, Alabama television station.
Tschorn describes how the TMZ tour guide tells the group to think of her as their “personal paparazzi” and they are then shown a pre-recorded video on “How to grab the best selfie in five easy steps.”
The tour — which is around three hours long — then encourages tourists to shoot the biggest landmarks in Hollywood and helps them “build a picture portfolio that’ll make your Instagram besties drip with envy.”
