RE photographer here. The location of the tripod in the photo was near certainly the only angle in the bathroom that would capture the shower. I might adjust a potted plant, or angle a chair a bit. But we're paid to take pictures not move dirty laundry, toothbrushes, dildos, litter boxes, etc. You get a flyer beforehand telling you what to do to prepare. If you don't want to do it that's on you.
