Patel shot

Patel shot n. a candid photograph with a person in the foreground and a place or object of interest (such as a tourist destination or landmark) in the background. Editorial Note: This term appears to be common among Anglophone Indians. The “Patel shot” as characterized in the 2001 and first 2004 citations is used by only a small number of closely associated filmmakers. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
