When British tabloid, The Sun released photos of Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift kissing, the first question that came to everyone's mind was "Were these photos staged?", paparazzo and founder of the website Stupid Famous People, Justin Steffman has the answer.

When asked by Cosmopolitan.com if he thinks the now infamous photographs of Hiddleston and Swift were staged, Steffman answered "My first instinct when I saw the pictures of Taylor and Tom is that they are most definitely staged. I'm friends with the paparazzo who was credited with the images and he is one of the best in the business when it comes to capturing sneaky pictures like those that were taken of the two. But, again Taylor loves to have control, and I'm sure she absolutely hates that someone was able to catch her sharing an intimate moment with her new love interest. But like I said ... if it's a huge news story, you always have to wonder if they are staged or not, don't you?"

He also revealed that Swift and the paparazzi have an unspoken agreement "It's obvious that even her bodyguard's know about this. We know that if we act professionally we would get the photos and everyone would be happy, Taylor takes the paparazzi part of fame with an entirely different approach from most celebrities because she looks at it and see's it as a business."

Steffman also says that a lot of celebrity paparazzi photos are staged because of money and also because celebrities want a say in all the images that would be released. "A lot of celebrities get paid without readers ever knowing about it because the photos look like regular paparazzi photos, what they don't know is that their favorite celebrity might have been paid to be casually photographed with the latest iPhone or a beauty product and that the celebrity and the photographer are actually working together."
