How to stage a photo to make it look like you're working hard.(20 Pics)

Number one: Get on the phone. Hard working people make calls, probably? All you've got to do is act like you're really making a call, and boom, done in one!

Jesus Christ. OK, so maybe try not to look at the camera like it owes you money? Let's try something else.

Number two: arms out on the desk, classic power pose, you're working hard and being strong doing it. Nice.

Fuckin... god dammit just stop looking at me. This isn't House of Cards.

OK, OK, arms out yes, not looking into the lens, nice. Still on the phone... little awkward but OK. Feel free to mix it up but sometimes less is more.

Good try, buddy.

Number three: Look relaxed. Working hard doesn't mean you can't make it look easy. You got this.

. . . OK. Hey you're not looking at the camera. Good job.

Alright this is a little too relaxed, get your foot off the desk man you're not a rowdy teen. You brought a friend though, that's pretty good. Working hard means having meetings.

Erm. OK good practice, and not looking at the camera! Alright we're getting somewhere! You're actually gonna need a real friend though, or people might think you don't have any.

Ohh. Er. Maybe other friends?

Umm... Do you know what a friend is? Someone you haven't personally and professionally insulted for years, maybe?

Fuck me. Alright you're just gonna be alone from now on. No shame in that, everyone knows it's lonely at the top. Yeah, let's go with that. OK OK, focus on the positive: not looking at the camera, that's good, looking relaxed... like... *really* relaxed... like this is the first time you've been able to relax in months or something. Let's just move on.

Alright guys if you're not gonna take this seriously...

OK you're officially going backwards. You look like a police sketch artist working out of a Moroccan harem. Who's your decorator? Colonel Gaddafi? I dunno, try getting some stuff on the desk.

Woah. Alright. Feels a little... sarcastic? Like is that really how you work?

OK you're just taking the piss now. Have you ever seen anyone read in your entire life? And I'm gonna say it, this is too much stuff, there's a line between busy and hoarder.

ARE YOU TWEETING? Fuck it. I give up.

OH COME ON.
