Some people loved the work done by Irfan Ahson and also, loved how the new PM looks in that seat.
People didn’t shy away to comment on how handsome Imran Khan looks
People seemed happy with the quality of the picture, too
Irfan’s work was praised too
Well, some people were also quick to criticize.
Some people felt that this picture was “improper”
For some, it wasn’t a job well done!
Umm, ouch.
However, some people were not happy, stating that Imran Khan hired the most expensive photographer in town! This is the picture that went viral.
Some people started to question “tabdeeli”
Others weren’t buying it
Eventually, Irfan took to Twitter yesterday with a clarification tweet
HAHAH This is hilarious! I did probono (FREE) as my very tiny little input for the naya Pakistan he envisions! And may he succeed Inshallah. And yes as my senior from Aitchison he deserved special discount :). Haters will hate! pic.twitter.com/bUREZre1Xi

The photographer also has some support!
We need to give him full support as media is fully criticizing him and doing a campaign with false news. People need to understand and need to bring the truth to the people. Good job
