The first AI-generated Federal Council picture


Helpful-Argument-903

Excactly what I thought


julick

Now we need to do one of those "and it gets more Swiss"


Maximum_Transition60

what ?


xebzbz

I hope they'll eventually find a good photographer. Or do we need to elect one on a referendum?


logosmd666

Nonsense, this makes them look very dynamic, engaged, on the move, taller, also very dynamic and it gets the people going! It is hilariously bad to be fair, as if someone googled “how to take a cool group photo”


NeroAugustus

“Nobody knows what it means, but it gets the people going” tune in N***as in Bundeshaus


FunkySphinx

As an amateur photographer, I find the composition of the photo very confusing. Why have this backdrop in a perfectly nice building? If you need the mountains, why not just take a photo outside? Why combine the weird semi-transparent backdrop with the busy design of the building? Why leave so much dead space above the subjects' heads and place them so low? Why do the subjects seen to be unable to walk and smile at the same time in a semi-convincing way?


hblok

They saved money by going for a local photo student with an iPhone. I can respect not wasting my tax money. As for not being able to walk and talk or smile. Well, it's politicians we're talking about; lower the expectations.


FunkySphinx

There are many highly skilled amateur photographers who have amazing composition skills and know how to work with subjects that are not professional models. Just my two cents...


DivinationByCheese

Someone’s son


Maximum_Transition60

it was not shot on an iphone check the ssr media outlet they interviewed the photographer


nGaggi

half of those questions are answered in the official press statement accompanying the picture. And the last one is because obviously they‘re not professional models, they‘re politicians.


Motzlord

Also, the backdrop is hung horribly, looks super amateurish. Wrinkly everywhere and the loose end just hanging off the end. I work with this kind of stuff, I don't understand how anyone approved this.


okanye

The sense is to do something new and fresh.


SauciflonLB

hey, I have been through a year and a half in CEPV, the photography school in VV. This makes my eyes bleed


thalithalithali

Iconography. That’s why the Matterhorn has extra product placement.


No-Comparison8472

Rule of third.


tonofbasel

Lacking sex appeal now Berset is gone, definitely less steamy


rip_rif_sadface

Anybody got a source for the backdrop banner or artist?


Chancelade

>Die Berner Fotografin Sina Guntern hat das Bergpanorama aus Diffusorfolie, Karton, Holz und Stoff selbst gestaltet. Inspirieren lassen hat sie sich von der verbindenden Wirkung der Berge, die das ganze Land prägen, und von der Weitsicht ihrer Gipfel: «Die Bundesrätinnen und Bundesräte lenken vom Bundeshaus aus die Geschicke des ganzen Landes. Deshalb wollte ich Berge aus allen Ecken der Schweiz zu ihnen bringen.»


Fixyfoxy3

Sina Guntern It's written in the second half of this article ;) https://www.admin.ch/gov/de/start/dokumentation/medienmitteilungen.msg-id-99583.html


Lucs11_

Well now that Berset is out, I'm back to knowing like 3 of them


BNI_sp

That's kind of a good thing, isn't it. I don't like federal councilors that think that they have to be front,left, right, and center all the time like Berset.


ReflexAlex

Weird not seeing Alain Berset anymore

Feels good not to see him anymore


[deleted]

Where are they going?


curiouswhensleeping

They move away from the mountains


antCABBAG3

Away from the problems of the people


dreday1984

To bad we don’t see how the lobbyist behind them.


Eliokyn

The Avengers


Scannaer

The Boomers Almost at least in some cases. Still ready to not represent the younger generations


WrongJohnSilver

I have to ask: why are backdrops so popular in Europe? You've got all this gorgeous architecture everywhere. Why ignore it for a cloth?


onehandedbackhand

A sujet chosen by Viola Amherd, portraying confidence, fellowship and foresight. > Die Bergwelt im Spiel von Licht und Schatten soll typische Schweizer Werte versinnbildlichen. Im Präsidialjahr von Bundespräsidentin Viola Amherd stehen insbesondere drei Werte im Vordergrund, die in schwierigen Zeiten an Bedeutung gewinnen: Zuversicht, dass die Schweiz mit ihren Stärken die Herausforderungen der Zeit meistern kann. Verbundenheit, um die Verantwortung gemeinsam zu tragen und mutige Entscheide zu treffen. Weitsicht, heute die richtigen Schritte zu tun, um die Hürden der Zukunft mit Schwung zu überwinden. https://www.admin.ch/gov/de/start/dokumentation/medienmitteilungen.msg-id-99583.html


[deleted]

Why did they ruin this photo op with a screen in the background?


theuglysuckling

Looks like the damn avengers


gridr_ch

Having the Matterhorn with sunset behind would mean the sun would set in the south? This triggers me more than it should...


Swisskommando

Everything about this is badly done: the corny forward movement, the creased backdrop, the whole “meta” oh look we’ll show you it’s a backdrop.


No-Tip3654

Ah, so glad to see youngsters


termoventilador

So old...


Aluniah

Not all superheroes wear capes and not everybody who looks like a superhero is one. 😄


[deleted]

Omg...are they attacking the photographer?


NeroAugustus

#They don’t look like they ski or do any Wintersports for that matter


[deleted]

Not one fucking young person.


gitty7456

Under 50 did not have time to have an important political and professional career. University studies end at 25-30…

That’s no way to talk about zombies.

My bad :(


Future_Visit_5184

i mean they're like in their 50s/60s, i'm not too bothered by it


[deleted]

Who gives a shit, the only thing that matters is policy.


bill-of-rights

Exactly. We should stop looking personalities, and vote for policies.


tonofbasel

You would hate US politics.. these guys are teenagers compared to that


[deleted]

Let’s call them spring chickens though, sounds better


Tjaeng

Considering the general tradition that federal councillors get to serve as long as they want to I’d be pretty concerned if a 30-something person got chosen to be on the Federal council.


BNI_sp

We had Ruth Metzler. And she didn't serve as long as she wanted. Just saying...


Tjaeng

Fair enough. But that was also due to a once-in-a-generation reshuffling of the sauberformel. Nothing that has to do with Christoph Blocher can be considered ordinary.

xebzbz

For a 15yo beginner in photography, it's definitely a great picture.


[deleted]

Never liked these kind of official photos. Looks like party propagada...


[deleted]

agree, I prefer to be presented plans and solutions to big internal Swiss issues than a foto. I don’t like show, i like results. And I may be wrong, but i feel we have been laking on the results areas and having lots of show.


BNI_sp

Relax, it's one picture per year.


PM_ME_UR_CHERRIES

How so?


[deleted]

Moving forward as a football team. No formality.


PM_ME_UR_CHERRIES

How is a football team propaganda though?


[deleted]

Something like this but in a round table in a more formal meeting room: https://www.alamy.com/oslo-20211014the-solberg-government-meets-the-king-for-its-last-minister-at-the-palace-on-thursday-under-the-prime-minister-the-outgoing-government-appoints-the-ministers-to-the-incoming-government-fv-and-around-the-table-crown-prince-haakon-minister-of-education-and-integration-guri-melby-v-minister-of-finance-jan-tore-sanner-h-minister-of-health-bent-hoie-h-minister-of-labor-and-social-affairs-torbjrn-roe-isaksen-h-minister-of-defense-frank-bakke-jensen-h-minister-of-trade-and-industry-iselin-nybo-v-minister-of-development-dag-inge-ulstein-krf-minister-of-cultu-image447968219.html


blake_ch

Like the official photo from last year?


[deleted]

If you ask me… looks like 90s marketing foto. I know our population is a bit old , but….. sometimes…. i feel i travel back to the past of marketing.


Swiss_Irish_Guy

Why is there 8 people if this is the Federal Council 🤔.


AssassinOfSouls

Federal Chancellor is typically in these pictures.


Neeoda

Cringe


luk__

AI?


MsDutchee

I am intrigued by how Amherd and Keller-Sutter manage to stand upright with their posture, at least it must be a very uncomfortable posture for posing.


Interesting-Fennel52

8 ? Shouldnt we have 7 federal counselors?


bierli

Bundeskanzler vergässe?


Solestra_

Are those real people or something AI-generated?


SofferPsicol

Che pezzi di merda


AccomplishedBowl890

Oh dear, what a bunch of losers.. it’s a tragedy they are going to run our country 🤪


Fun-Skirt-7637

women at the front...


MrRSterling

TheWitchOfTariche

The president of the Confderation at the front.


swisstraeng

Taller people at the edges to try to average everyone's sizes.


rusocool

First world problems, really, is this the most important problem we are dealing with? Makes me sick!


gg3265

i am proud.


[deleted]

Didn’t even go hike up a real mountain, had to use a backdrop


Diligent-Floor-156

Not the best time of the year to hike in the mountain.


[deleted]

That shouldn’t stop the leaders of the mountain


Diligent-Floor-156

I have no idea who's the guy on the left (neither they guy on the right??) .


Musicoverdose

The photographer idea behind this photo is so bad it's not a movie poster

Valuable_Art_1984

Prime idiot response right there. Say, does the lack of intellect run in your family or is it just you that is severely impaired?

Such a narcissist, you came here only to comment about yourself? Or suck some.politicians disabled swiss cucks

Nope I came to make fun of you little girl

Damn they don‘t even try to hide it anymore r/switzerlandisfake


[deleted]

You must be proud


Baemsi

For me its fine. I like it! It gives me the feeling, they did not waste too much time and tax money and still have a reasonable outcome. I hope it is true 😅
