Typically, the person being photographed is the one doing the posing. Every now and then I will spot photographers doing some back-bending posture to snap a photo.
Take this person in the Amongst Us costume photographing the three fursuiters at Furlandia 2026. The costume does make the photographer appear to be bending backwards while poking the camera lens out the side.
As I captured this pose, I noticed the photographer in the background bending backwards while composing their shot!
And yes, I am guilty of doing the same backwards-bending posture.
