The unmediated photo is the message

[Locutus]

The camera loves Justin Trudeau – and he knows it. Eric Andrew-Gee job-shadows Adam Scotti, the photographer charged with capturing every move of a Prime Minister well aware that, in the age of social media, a flattering picture may be worth far more than a thousand words

The Prime Minister goes about his business apparently oblivious to the snapping of Adam Scotti, which he says he tunes out – unless there is something he can do to make a shot better.

Justin Trudeau is being photographed signing photographs of himself. He glides a black Sharpie over the glossy printouts. A camera lens flutters nearby. The quiet is broken when one of his markers dries up.

“Tommy!” the Prime Minister cries. “I need a new Sharpie!”

His assistant, Tommy Desfossés, hurries in with a fresh writing implement.

The signing resumes. Behind the camera, and behind the photos on Mr. Trudeau’s desk, is Adam Scotti, the Prime Minister’s official photographer, responsible for some of the best-known images of our most image-conscious leader in a generation.

Mr. Trudeau hugging the panda cubs? That was Mr. Scotti. Son Hadrien high-fiving Barack Obama? Mr. Scotti, as well.

more sunny drama from the heart

In this social media age, Trudeau's photographer is a power player - The Globe and Mail

I would love to find that constitutional clause where it authorizes spending $100k on a personal photographer for the PM.

How about you just do a good f^cking job of representing the citizens will and wishes then you won't need to blow $1 million or more a year on publicity...it will take care of itself.

With the influx of immigration, imagery is relied upon. In 20 years we'll be back to the written word.

word of mouth is the best advertising

A picture has a thousand words in all languages. Do lies out number the factual words?

At first I was like:

It's just the old hag hildebeast blocking the letter “o” on a sign that read “count.” You're just seeing Rorschach vulgarities.

Then I was like:

hemming and hawing, nah... torn really between "I know you are but what I am" and "your mom" or...

But finally I was like:

but "if a picture paints a thousands words" and that started to creep into my occipital lobes.

So who loves ya Laudanum or labium, whatever your name is.

anyway you handsome brute, I don't always multimeme so consider yourself lucky and get back to work.
