At its height in the early aughts, tabloid culture reached an all-time high; celebrities like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez found themselves at the centre of fierce bidding wars for their photos from paparazzi able to charge exorbitant rates for such images.

Ambler initially pitched $250,000 in exchange for 20% equity in his company on Shark Tank; however, Lori Greiner and Kevin O’Leary offered $50,000 for 33% equity and a $200,000 loan instead. James decided against this offer, instead opting to remain independent from their investment; nevertheless, being on Shark Tank helped his business significantly as it has since been featured on both Today Show and CBS Sunday Morning!
