Ha, I know you have to shorten the headline for HN, but you probably should either squeeze in "photographer", or change "capturing" to "Photographing".
These photos appear truly weird through western eyes. But they aren’t unlike so many other anthropological photo series that we saw in the past in photo-heavy magazines like National Geographic. There’s something about making someone pose who may not have enough power to say ‘no’ that makes this odd.
I haven't seen the book yet, but judging by the promotional pics in the article it's neat how many of the objects they chose to be photographed with are things they do rather than just things are currently infatuated with. I like this a lot.

"Photographed" would be much preferred.
I don't know if this is typical petapixel parlance.
It almost seems as if it was written this way as click bait...
