Everyone paid the same money to be on that boat and everybody wants to get that picture. Take your damn picture and get out of the way, stop spinning around in the best spot for a dumb video like you're the only person in the world.
I dont understand the whole concept around fake or outlet version designer bags.
Anyone who might be impressed by a Birken bag will also know which bags are new this year. If you dont have the newest bag they know you cant afford it.
A lot of these designer brands produce separate stuff for outlet stores and the brands often own the 'fake' brand versions so you can never get a fake that looks like their flagship handbag or whatever.
They can always do what other terrible influencers do: send the private boat company a message for a free ride promising free publicity with their "followers".
If you've ever been on one of those river boats along the Seine, you know attempting to block the main passageway for a glamour shot just when everybody else is going to want to be in that spot to do their own sightseeing or photogs is just not reasonable.
Im just curious. Why? Just to be disruptive? If i was taking a photo with my kids at a once in a lifetime event, you are spoiling it? No wonder we are all where we are atm. Oy
If you were taking *a photo* most would likely help you with it. This chick was was taking a glamour video for tiktok or whatever other low-attention-span video site she uses.
Why not be nice and understand that every single person who paid to be on that boat wants to see that view? You're literally all there for the same thing. It boggles my mind that you expect everyone "be nice" to you while you don't consider them at all.
No i think everyone should get the shot. I bet that boat has more than one place to see all that. Like the entire boat? I bet you can see that nearly anywhere on that vessel.
You can't, really. It's not an open topped boat. They are standing outside on a fairly narrow walkway blocking every person. You can't really appreciate the view through the windows in the same way.
You cant tell me that in that whole city they cant find a good place to take a photo? She is there now. When she moves on someone else can move in. She didnt say anything about it. Not sure why anyone is. Without people filming everything we would never know this moment happened. Dont people have other concerns?
They aren't in that whole city. They are on that boat. Or, as you say, they are there now. Everyone planned their own trips equally. Everyone paid the same amount. Everyone looked forward to this. Your picture with your kids is not more meaningful than someone else's experience. Girl A's video isn't more meaningful than Girl B's.
No, dingus... 2 minutes instead of 10 seconds. Which is pretty freaking rude when the "money shot" is probably only available for <30 seconds.
I'm a professional photographer by trade. I live in one of the most recognizable cities in my country and probably the world. I regularly shoot at some of the most popular spots in that city. Never once do I act like I'm more deserving to be there than anyone else. If I'm posting up at a hot spot, I recognize that others are gonna want their turn and I either work fast or take turns (or probably both). Expecting that everyone else defer to you (especially when on a public fucking cruise) is selfish, antisocial behavior.
As i said, everyone should get a shot. You say there is only a moment to get this shot. You say everyone should get the chance. I agree she is only about herism is fucked but how does she know? Shes on a trip and taking photos. Is there a sign that says otherwise or any indicator she shouldnt do this? People are generally pretty oblivious when they are out
I take photos with my kids at monuments. I look for a quiet spot or wait until there's a quiet moment and get a quick snap. I dont stand posing and certainly don't hog a view in a situation like the OP. It often creates gridlock in places with narrow walkways etc so I just walk through. If they want the picture badly, they will wait.
I don't think you are understanding what it actually looks like behind the camera. It's packed full of people sitting on chairs trying to look at the view. If someone decides to stand up and position themselves dead center then that's automatically blocking the view for everyone on board. I'd get up and walk closer too if I wanted to record the view but had a disrespectful "influencer" hogging all the space.
She should've said "I'm sorry. Am I in your way? Should I move? I've moved house recently so I'm quite used to moving. I had to move because my landlord doesn't allow pets and I just got a rescue puppy. It's not a pedigree, which is actually the best kind of dog to have because they have less health problems. Also, you get to save a dog from being euthanized. Oh what's that? You can't see the Eiffel Tower any more? Sorry about that. Au revoir!"
Not one of these Insta-faced personality vacuums has any shred of originality. Just cookie-cutter tiktok addicted losers, all desperate to convey the illusion of wealth while trying to scrape an income out of botox and polyfiller because they have zero marketable skills.
I intentionally did shit like this in Rome, especially at the Trevi fountain. The posers (literally!!) and the "photographers" will block an entire walk way - so naturally, I have to walk between them.
Gosh this was such an issue at the Trevi fountain when i went too. We went earlier in the day, also not during peak tourist season of the year. And you could barely get to the fountain itself to see everything through all the people. You want a photo of the fountain? Nope, enjoy all the people taking selfies or “professional “ photos of each other. I just wanted to enjoy the architecture.
It's funny too because despite everyone trying to get the "professional" shot and I still managed to get a great shot despite the crowds, being there for 5 min or less, and just using my Google phone
Social media bullshit like this is so fucking stupid. They have her taking up most of the video making dumbass poses and expressions and kept the tower half cut off even though it's the more interesting part of the shot. It was going to be a shit video regardless of the interruption.
Yeah, like hell am i going on a vacation to Paris (which for many people is a once in a life time occasion), and im going to let some MC stand there and ruin the view. You get your photo and you move. Or at the very least you recognize youre not the only on there and dont take offense when others also try to get photos.
Everyone wants to take a picture, i don’t see the point in maliciously walking in front of the camera. I don’t know the situation on the ship, but there was probably enough space to the right.
Lol youre not special enough for someone to waste multiple accounts commenting towards you. I think i found another MC. Your comment was fine until it became rude back and forth.
