grip and grin
Handshake photo op
A grip and grin is a posed photograph showing people shaking hands and smiling at the camera, typically at political events, award ceremonies, or business functions.
The term is mildly dismissive, suggesting formulaic photo opportunities rather than genuine moments: The senator spent an hour doing grip and grins with donors.
