Me: Perhaps Ryo's witch could be called Aurea as a reference Aurea proportion which is something very considered in photography.
Magia Record: Paparazzo because Ryo is like a paparazzi. :)
Me: ...Was the person who decided this involved in the development of episode 6?
Joke aside, wiki puella magia describes the possible reference:
Her Doppel's name is "Paparazzo" derives from paparazzi, but is the singular version of the word. 'Paparazzo' was the name of a character from the movie La Dolce Vita, whose name became a concept to denote agressively determined gossip press photographers.
Interesting, but I always thought Ryo was more interested in recording interesting things she couldn't prove (eg an albino dolphin) or being able to report crime like that car accident.
On the other hand the witch's name makes me think that Ryo is the type to just run after famous people like Yachiyo and Sayuki to tell some silly gossip about what clothes they bought or something. And Ryo didn't like to look like she was just a gossip.
But come to think of it, I think the doppel/witch could represent what magical girls fear becoming or corrupted personality traits in the worst way. I mean, Mayu's doppel makes it look like she likes to deceive people.
