One thing you should absolutely not do when you see a celebrity you admire is try to stealthily take pictures of them. If you’re at an event where they’re appearing formally, you’re better off waiting for an official photo opportunity where they’re prepared to look at the camera, and if you’ve spotted them somewhere where they’re off the job… well, nobody likes feeling like they're being followed, and you’re probably not as subtle as you think you are.

A lot of people are nice enough that if you introduce yourself and ask for a photo, they’ll be fine with obliging, but empathy should come first and foremost. Think about what kind of courtesy celebrities would appreciate from all the strangers they encounter who are just as excited to see them… that includes considering that they’ve probably heard the tagline from their most popular movie 10 times this week and a simple introduction would suffice.
