“Don’t Piss Off Your Photographer”: Photographer Got His Revenge On Sir Philip Green For Being Rude During The Photoshoot

ADVERTISEMENT

If you‘ve ever worked a job where you had to communicate with clients or customers on an everyday basis, you probably know how soul-crushing and annoying it can get. Because, unfortunately, not all people have the desire to be nice or even decent to other human beings. And if you’ve ever had this kind of job, you probably also know the good old saying that goes like this: “The customer is always right.” But here’s the thing—is this phrase something that we should live by? We’re pretty sure that photographer Jake Walters would beg to differ.

Back in 2005, the photographer Jake Walters had the pleasure to be working with Sir Philip Green

Around 15 years ago, the photographer Jake Walters was working with Sir Philip Green, the boss of Topshop, in order to take his photos for the Guardian Weekend. The photographer remembers the day he met Mr. Green quite well—in fact, he even decided to share the memories by posting a little something on Instagram.

“My portrait of Sir Philip Greed, sorry, Green, taken on his Arcadia office balcony on Oxford Street,” Jake Walters writes in his post. Turns out, during the shoot, Mr. Green was unpleasant and rude to the photographer and his assistant, and 15 years later, the witty photographer decided to finally get his revenge.

Since Mr. Green was rude during the shoot, the photographer decided to get his revenge by capturing him looking like a prick

“He was unpleasant and rude to me and my assistant when we arrived to photograph him for @guardianweekend,” the photographer Jake writes in his post. And how did he get his revenge, you may ask? Yes, you’re absolutely correct—he decided to capture the man in a way that would make him resemble male genitalia. “So I thought… well, if it’s ok for you to act like a prick, it must be ok for me to make you look like one. So I did,” Jake shares in the description of the genius photo.

Unfortunately, according to Metro, the Guardian did not end up using that particular pic. “I tried to persuade them, but I’m afraid they didn’t. Still, my portrait lives on,” the photographer told Metro.

Jake’s Instagram post featuring the photo quickly gained a lot of attention, and it currently has over 13k likes with the number quickly rising.
