grip-and-grin
Award ceremony pose
A grip-and-grin is a photograph showing people shaking hands and smiling at the camera, typically at ceremonies, award presentations, or political events.
The term is mildly dismissive, suggesting formulaic photo opportunities rather than candid moments: The newsletter was full of grip-and-grins from the charity gala.
Politicians and executives accumulate countless grip-and-grins with constituents and donors.
