>>3007882>all these asspained comments from people who can't separate persona from photography>all these people who think this has anything to do with Trump and nothing to do with the photographerIt must be nice to be millenial trash who loves to blame everything on a figurehead instead of addressing the real problem which is that the photographer failed to set up the shot and failed to nail the technical details required for a portrait like this.
Whether the photographer had 1 minute with Trump or an hour does nothing to excuse the poor composition, poor lighting and poor technical choices that should and could be resolved by using a stand in. A true portrait photographer would have a pre-determined composition, dialed in his settings (strobes, aperture, shutter speed and anything but ISO 640) and prepared for The Donald to come in, pose, direct the model (POTUS) and take a few shots.
This looks like the kinda shot you'd get off of a guy on craigslist offering headshots for $5
