Are they what they look like or do the photographers have such a sense of humor?

Looking at the photographs in the newspapers makes me thinking of what is behind that photograph.

The fact making me thinking such way is what the person on the photograph look like. Strictly speaking s/he looks like an idiot. When you see all the photographers, let's say in the TV broadcast from various occasions, pushing the buttons on their cameras you think they have a lot of photographs to choose from for the newspapers. Then when you open the newspapers you see what you see.
Thats when I start to think if the person on the photograph really is what the person look like or if the photographer doesn't like that person and this photograph is a way for him to make that person look like an idiot.
