I Just Wanted A Pork & Stilton Pie

Does this picture look staged? It SO was! Waxy O’Conner’s was voted 'Best Pub' and so it was featured in TimeOut magazine. A girl at work ushered us to Waxy’s to pose for a picture which I originally thought would be a huge group of people all standing together wearing Waxy’s shirts or something similar. No one in the picture smokes and in fact, one guy quit the week before but the photographer kept saying "Smoke! I need more smoke!” - She was trying to create atmosphere. Best pub or cigarette ad? Since the non-smokers were not creating enough ‘ambiance’ we called in our friend Anna (a smoker) to sit in the corner and help produce smoke to satisfy the photographer. Too many cigarettes were butted to create this image. For the record, Waxy’s makes a super pork and stilton pie. Visit the site: http://www.timeoutdubai.com/
