Ummmmm, that's the photographer that did that. 🙄
Tells you everything you need to know about those "journalists".
Not sure how you would prefer that be phrased? Also, if you can reasonably see the horizon aligned with its reflection, that suggests something to the reader about how it's more or less perpendicular to the ground, rather than slanted (cone/pyramid/etc.).
I think that's covered by, "in the photos."
The photographer did that because the horizon appears at eye level for every viewer.
If the mirrors weren’t perfectly straight up the photographer wouldn’t have been able to do that.
Also it literally says “in the photos” so yeah, what do you expect???
It strongly reads to me like the writer is trying to make something mystical/mysterious out of a completely mundane "feature" of mirrors.
