In the grand scheme of things, they deserve what they got. But as a trained photographer, whoever did the lighting for these portraits did a terrible job. The fill and hair lights are okay (although the color temperature is all over the place, and doesn’t look like it’s an intentionally artistic choice), but the key light is way too bright. Looks like they somewhat masked it for Trump’s but may have just used the barndoors on the light so there’s a very dark shadow on his chest. With Vance they opened them up a bit, but he’s still got a weird shadow line from his right shoulder to his left elbow. They’d probably have gotten better pictures if they went to a JCPenney.
