To me it looks like some friends having fun with guns and a camera. It reminds me of when my grandfather was in medical school there's a photo somewhere of either my grandfather or one of his friends on a gurney surrounded by Cadavers like they are the doctors. While one of the skeletons has my grandfathers pipe. At one point I had a copy of the photo but don't know where it's at or if my dad still has the original.

But back to your photo, it does make you take a whole lot of takes while looking at it. But the person being shot just seems like it's a massive dramatization of the act. Like the super slomo's in the matrix.
