Anytime I see these types of terrible pics, I think of the planning this self-important asshole agonizes over while the struggling gig photographer has to keep their eyes from rolling out of their head.
Peak narcissism and vanity, utterly shameless.
Meanwhile my mate takes photos like this of me at the pub on the phone on the work laptop cause he was late for a beer and I was mid phone call when he turned up
Mine is genuine didn't even know it was being taken his would have had so much planning
this looks more realistic because of the annoyed face the subject is making for having to work at the pub.
i left my previous job because of bullshit like this. i need a better career.
Sure he doesn't have a fancy tripod and set his iPhone 18 XL MAX or whatever on a half minute timer?
Although these types might seek out the struggling gig photographer just to feel power over somebody. Lol
You’re right, that definitely could have happened too. I just can’t help but think of him trying to describe the shot to somebody. Though it would be equally pathetic to see him snap the photo on timer, run over, look at pic, reset the timer, try again… for like 50 times.
Probably has it set up so he can take the picture from the laptop
I think you can use the Apple watch as a remote shutter button, so he wouldn't need to do laps in the parking lot like a dad trying to get a family photo. But it is fun to imagine none the less.
