Imagine having a chill moment with your bro, and a dozen paparazzis jump in your face to take photos.

I always downvote pap pics. This is something that shouldn’t be encouraged. Leave people alone!!

They’re not going anywhere. Celebrities (PR teams) will sometimes call paparazzi on themselves and/or work with them to get photos. Sometimes for the visibility. Sometimes for image rehab. Sometimes in exchange for not bothering them at other times.

Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift on the beach together come to mind

Taylor is the reigning champ of calling paparazzi on herself.

And I just saw a video yesterday of Justin and Hailey Bieber working with paparazzi to take photos of her as she got out of a van.

Kim Kardashian has her paparazzi photos sent to her for approval before they’re posted online. There was a whole storyline (I don’t watch the show, just read about it) of her being busy during a party (or maybe it was Kourtney’s wedding?) because she was reviewing paparazzi photos lol.

is that not more a case of "they're going to be here anyway, so we might as well make it work for us?"

Kardashians aside, because I don't think anyone gave two shits about that talentless bunch until sex tapes and the like came about.
