what exactly is going on in this photo?

why are the mics set up all spread out like that?! does this seem odd to anyone?

Doesn't it look like they're using both mics to hold that pop filter? or is that an optical illusion?

Both mics are angled towards the singer's left. He's not singing directly into the Neumann.
