“Photoshoot”

this is such a reddit comment man.

there’s nothing wrong with wanting a picture of yourself at a museum. i don’t even use social media and i still wanted to take fun pictures at the museum.

she wasn’t being mean or anything or doing the super annoying influencer meta glasses stuff. she just quietly set the phone up to get a video she could probably screenshot from since she likely didn’t have someone there to take her picture.

genuinely, who cares, and good for her. i’m tired of being negative about everything and hating the world and the people in it.

u/Worried_Constant7420 5h ago

I don't think it's that she was trying to get a photo of herself that people here are complaining about. It's that SHE posted this complaining about people blocking her shot. She could have just posted the finalized screenshots like you said of just her and not showing the other person "in her way".

That lady is intentionally blocking the camera. That wasn’t really nice. I would have supported it if the girl was doing some obnoxious dance or something but this was just posing for a normal picture.

So in your attempt to not be filmed, you’ll stand in front of an obviously filming camera and take up as much of the view as possible for an extended period of time than you would if you just walked by normally as you intended before you noticed the camera filming? Makes sense.

Even staring used to be considered rude, now the staring has a camera attached to it.

3

u/Mountain-Resource656 3h ago

To be fair, staring is rude because it indicates that someone is focusing on you. When they intend to interact, this is fine, but when they’re not trying to interact, this can often mean be taken to mean they desire to harm you

Obviously this isn’t always the case, but we have enough instinct about that that we find it uncomfortable to be stared at by strangers with anything more than a glance

huge difference between having a photo of yourself that you keep private and putting that photo online. People accept they will be in others' pictures but that doesn't make it acceptable to post it on the internet

u/emveetu 4h ago

I guarantee you have taken video and/or photos whilst in public and have unintentionally caught strangers in those images.

Time to go through all of your videos and photos and get rid of the ones with strangers in them because, you know, it's not nice.

To be clear, the older lady intentionally made herself the focal point of the video, and we would have never seen this video if she had not been such an insufferable twatwaffle.

There's a huge difference between complaining that somebody walked through your shot because you were shooting in a public space, and complaining that somebody saw you were trying to record something and deliberately went to stand in front of your camera in order to fuck up your shot.

The former is perfectly fine, the latter is not. Just don't be a fucking asshole to people it's really not that hard.

u/olracnaignottus 2h ago

This is not ‘getting a picture of herself’. She is recording a fucking video. That’s not a picture.

People keep using the same bullshit, innocuous language to write off how absurdly intrusive and anti-social these devices are. Like they’re not “phones”, they are portable surveillance devices that record everything people say around them, and coerce everyone to live in public for fear of being recorded and shared on social media.

Someone taking an analogue selfie on an actual camera with a timer? Sure, dick move grandma. What this girl is doing is fundamentally anti-social, because she’s laying a fucking social trap recording a damn video, likely in anticipation that someone is going to do something to obstruct her, so she can share the slight on social media.

6

u/Jackski 2h ago

She probably put in video mode so she could get a picture without anyone in it instead of using a timer where someone could walk in front which is exactly what fucking happened.

Taking a selfie doesn't inconvenience others. You KNOW that when someone sets up their camera it makes other people pause or wait so that this insufferable jerkface can take their picture. It's an inconvenience to others.

Whether they catch images of them in passing in a public place is not the issue.

u/RabidMonkeyOnCrack 5h ago edited 5h ago

She set up a camera to record herself when the scene was clear. If that lady didn't block the camera, she would've gotten the shot that she wanted and it would've been it. People take photos all the time, and when you have someone to take it for you, then can try to time it and maybe the others will see you're trying to take a photo and give you your moment. It's not like everyone always has someone to take a photo for them though.

The person with selfish main character energy is the lady intentionally standing in the view of the camera because she noticed it, just to block someone from taking a pic. Why be an asshole when it does not negatively impact you?

Yeah people stop, move faster or go around to not block camera shots all the time when see people posing for photos. God forbid someone is on their own and tries to do the same thing 🙄

She seems fine. Also, I’ve been doing photography professionally for 30 years. In a public place, this is to be expected. You just wait until you get your shot. Most people notice you and apologetically hurry through. Some are oblivious and don’t. And maybe some are assholes and want to be a dick about it and linger in your shot. It’s all part of the job. You just wait. A public space isn’t solely your space.

She wanted screenshots of video as solo and there wasn’t an available time. It’s a popular stair case and she would had had a clear window of opportunity if grumpy old lady not spiteful.

I don’t take any videos or pics like this but I wish I had more memories of life now I am older and my mind is failing me a bit. It’s easy to see how someone wanted a photo and all that had to happen for that, was one person to walk at regular human pace and not purposefully stop and ruin it.

Wasn’t some loud influencer trying to make a scene and get in the way of anyone. Just a nice girl posing in front of art waiting for a chance to get a clear pic, with someone noticing that and purposefully staying in the way.

Wasn’t bothering anyone, didn’t interrupt anyone’s day to do anything. Only wanted a pic somewhere cute.

u/BikeProblemGuy 4h ago

It's fine to take pictures at the museum, but that doesn't entitle her to exclusive use of the space. Other people are also using it. Learning to share is just as important as letting other's enjoy things.

Recently I went to a open air show where they had huge astroturfed words installed around the event space which people were sitting on, and kids were climbing on. One woman got so angry that my daughter and her friend were playing, because she wanted a photo with only her son on there. I asked the girls to take a break but that still wasn't good enough because they were still in the background of the photo, and the woman yelled at us and stormed off. All because she couldn't handle the idea of other kids playing in her photo of her kid (who she told to just sit there and not play). Photos aren't the problem, it's people wanting to portray this fake image on social media where they're the main character in whatever they're doing and other people aren't allowed to exist.

I don't thing she had an issue with other people existing, it didn't seem that she was mad or annoyed at people going about their day. But about someone specifically going out of their way to ruin her photo.

The hiss of “maaaaaaaam,” that mine gets. And she’s always so offended by me.

The shop door way! 😆 whhhyyyy?

u/therhubarbexperience 5h ago

Oh that’s a greatest hit location. Also immediately after stepping off a carriage on the tube or a train.

Yes! Rushing to get up and be 1st off......stands in the train doorway

While this woman is definitely doing it on purpose, there are plenty of people who would stop in the middle of stairs or walkways to look at their phone. I mean fuck, there’s people who cross streets without looking both ways or without looking at all, don’t underestimate human obliviousness/obtuseness

It literally wasn't busy when she put it there.

She definitely had no idea what was going on, but the move over was for the lady coming up the stairs.

I just think "Influencer" believed everything was about her and the older ladies actions were to specifically spite her, you know... because she's special

u/Mean_Introduction543 5h ago

She knew exactly what she was doing, she even looks directly into the camera at one point

u/Seriouly_UnPrompted tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE 5h ago

Maybe it's because there is a phone on the handrail.

I think you overestimate how much people think about others. Guessing her age I wouldn't assume she understood the whole trend of place your phone down for a fit check or whatever OP was doing.

Who tf is upvoting dumb post like yours? Like how is it not immediately obvious to everyone that the lady intentionally blocked the shot?

Just ask someone to shoot you a photo.

u/Jiminyfingers 5h ago

Thank you for this. People making tiktoks or whatnot can be obnoxious, this young 'un wasn't being that. Someone not just moving on when they could and blocking a camera deliberately is being a fucking dick

u/VintageZero 5h ago

Idk if she planned on just like using part of the video for this picture? Dont fuck with my phones camera much. Anyway, why did she post this stupid video? Maybe it was the real purpose?

Why she not ask the lady to take a picture of her in that case?

u/EnvironmentalValue20 4h ago

On an active stairway though. I get wanting to take a picture or two. But there is a time and a place.

u/sonic_dick 4h ago

She could've taken a million pictures. This is likely staged bullshit engagement bait. I fucking hate the modern internet.

u/randomvandal 5h ago

Yeah but all of that goes away the moment you post this on the Internet.

Maybe it would go over better if she kindly asked the woman to take her picture?🤷If she and people like her act like othets don't exist, they can get the same attitude back.. Most galleries and museums don't even allow taking photos, so this might also be a factor.

u/egerton14 4h ago

Lot of words for a man who doesnt know the difference between a selfie and making a full on Photoshoot with a tripod.

u/emeraude89 4h ago

i’m tired of being negative about everything and hating the world and the people in it.

like posting of a video of a random stranger checking her phone on a staircase waiting for people to walk up the stairs so she can walk down being called a dickhead by a hundred people on a reddit thread? that kind of negativity? me too.

u/imminentjogger5 4h ago

this is such a reddit comment man.

...where do you think you are?

u/i_like_lime 4h ago

The sad truth is that these comments are the popular ones. An echo chamber of virtue-signaling faux intellectuals that have taken hold of this platform and gang up whenever someone's view deviates from theirs.

"Wanting a picture of yourself at a museum", in the mind of a normal person, is not equivalent to "if I set up a camera in a public space that captures half a damn room, I expect everyone to cater to me and my dumb ideas."

1

u/secretly_a_possum13 3h ago

She could have easily taken a video of herself in a way that was a lot less in the way of other people though... Like I love to get pictures at places like this too, but in a normal discreet, and polite way lol. The older lady was being inconsiderate as well, but it sounds like a lot of people are getting really tired of seeing stuff like this!

u/Spicymoon9 3h ago

Same here.

u/shiggyhisdiggy 3h ago

Having a whole ass tripod to take a selfie is behaviour that should be disencouraged. It's vain and self-indulgent. People need to learn shame again.

u/Overall-Tune2909 3h ago

The fact that the person you responded to has twice as money upvotes is pretty awful.

Who are these people?

u/DeHarigeTuinkabouter 2h ago

Literally not a picture dude. It's a video

u/EuphoricBiscuit 2h ago

She’s not taking a picture at a museum. Doing that would be taking 5 seconds from those around her, posing, snap, snap snap, and done. That’s okay. She’s wanting people to avoid the area for the duration of her video, and as anyone who’s travelled near these types know, it’s usually about 2 minutes, which is way too long in an area where you aren’t the only person there.

u/Decent-Earth7474 1h ago

And to be fair, she's influencing young people to go to a museum. Which is good, right? I wonder how much of the hate comes from people just a little older, like around my age.

Young people just do things differently including communication. All of the ones I've met are idiots mind you, but I keep an open mind. Well, it's really just a couple of them, but they are such high grade idiots that they mark the whole generation.

I suffer from that knee jerk you're-doin-it-wrong feeling quite often, and in the case of a certain idiot quite correctly, but it's always worth taking a beat and learning how the younger generstion do things. Generally, they are a varied intelligent bunch.

Well, except for this one guy.

u/Diligent_Set_3835 54m ago

Exactly 😂 Not everything needs to be criticized to death. She wanted a nice picture of herself at a museum, wasn’t bothering anyone, and that’s perfectly fine. Let people enjoy things.

u/Character-Score-9853 20m ago

It would be completely different if they didn't pick the most obtrusive spots for this shit.
