It’s definitely not just teenage girls. Also true of a lot of grown women I know who seem to think starting a photography business will be easy as pie. (except easier! Because hey, no baking.)
The angle actually does help. Though it kills your back. ;)
Every teenage girl nowadays thinks she’s a photographer and it’s all the rich teenage girls who think they’re photographers who get fancy cameras even if they can’t take a picture better than a 2 year old. ;)
taking a step backwards would ruin the perfect angle, the body angle actually does help in composition.
As for tourist vs student, this is a horrible representation, because EVERYONE knows the art student would be shooting the bag on the ground
having been a tourist a few times lately, i found this pretty funny
The angle AND the skinny jeans + converse.
And the camera.
I dunno. Have you noticed the huge number of teenage girls with really expensive cameras who think that they’re photographers because of it?

And the bag of freshly bought books.

here’s an idea – instead of leaning backwards, take one step back!
Wait, so how does the angle make the photo better? Or it doesn’t? I honestly want to know.
It helps as much as stepping back a foot and standing normally would. So, maybe.
Holding the lens incorrectly is always a tipoff of something….
I think they mean the art graduate is working harder to get that good composition, whereas the tourist just points and shoots.
The ‘tourist’ might actually be a spy or a burglar, since the subject appears to be the security camera.
The leaning backwards gets your body underneath the camera which helps to stabilize it.
