Was this set up?

I like the way the person being hugged is as stiff as the showroom dummies, which in turn is echoed by the quite rigid posture of the man looking at the lingerie. The woman sets it off nicely and provides a more fluid and relaxed contrast.

Thank you for The comment! No, it wasn't set up. It's a candid street photography. Original image had a larger crop. I was shooting only The man at The showroom when I realized The boy and The girl where meeting there and they probably would nave greeted each other covering The man. But The boy stopper waiting for The girl just some steps before. So i waited and that's The photo. Sometimes luck is a precious help.

They were joking or something like that. She was late and he pretend to be angry. He said "It's five o'clock" or something like that and she was hugging while saying "ahahahahah, I know, forgive me!". But also if he was stiff, he was joking.
