Staged, that is just what it is.
The ejectors are look not activated, so the reloading is just for the sake of the photographer.

Since there are two cartridges in the fingers of the shooter, then one may wonder where they came from as there is only one missing in the cartridge pouch.

Why are the cartridges in his right hand and not in the left as the gun is broke open to the right side suggesting that he shoots from the right side. They would be in his left hand during shooting as they would otherwise be tangling with the triggers.

Why is the cartridge pouch located on his right side, and UPSIDE down? No experienced hunter would place it like that. I have used a “5 a side” leather cartridge pouch for the last 20 years, and placing it upside down would only make sure that the cartridges won’t be there after crawling, walking , running thru the bush. Shooting from the right side you can’t have anything obstructing the gun moving from the hip to the shoulder, so the logical placement would be on the front or slightly to the left, but never on the hipbone.
