photo ops
Staged press moments
Photo ops—short for photo opportunities—are staged moments designed to generate favorable photographs, especially of politicians or celebrities.
The term often carries a cynical edge, implying the event exists primarily for image-making rather than substance: The factory visit was just a photo op.
Also spelled photo-ops.
