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.

struggling gig photographer

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.

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.

Probably has it set up so he can take the picture from the laptop
