One man returns his gaze to another woman, and his girlfriend disapproves. It’s an age-old story! The scene was transformed into a metaphor by a variety of captions, making it one of the most popular memes of 2017. Who are the three young people in the photo after all the laughter? Who are these generic stock photo models? However, the artist has been identified: Antonio Guillem, a photographer, is unintentionally the man behind the meme. “I never thought that one of my images would be this popular…we always have a really great work atmosphere and almost all the time one of the models was laughing while we were trying to take the picture.” For at least a year, so was social media!
