Look at the first photo again. See how the crowd become more enveloped in shadow as they get closer to the camera? That's because they're not standing on the tarmac, they're in the hangar. If they were all outside they would all be lit by the sun. The ones at the front get hit by the sun because they're standing outside, but the ones in the back are under the shade of the hangar.

It may surprise you but the FAA doesn't let people stand on the runway as planes land. They're standing by the hangar, watching her land. She comes out of the plane, the photographer takes a zoomed photo of her with bits of the crowd in the way. This is forced perspective that makes it seem like they're closer than they are. Like when they take a photo of the moon over mountains and the moon looks huge.

Ths is a bad bit. Keep this shit in c/fakenews.
