A drunk woman had an impromptu photo shoot with the staff at a local kebab shop, and while she doesn’t even remember taking the snapshots, Twitter users can’t get over her incredible photography skills.
Journalist Moya Lothian-McLean ended up at Ali Baba’s in East London after a night out, and in her drunken state she started snapping portraits of the employees at the eatery— but she has no recollection of doing so.
Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Moya shared four of the photos, writing: ‘Passed out fully clothed last night for the first time but somehow also managed to upload a full photoset from my local kebab place which I don’t remember either doing or taking in the first place.’
