It’s prolly a case of setting the camera’s depth of view to infinity. Those peeps are prolly a hundred yards away. Makes for dramatic photos tho.
It’s not homeowner DIYrs that hire them. It’s a contractor who tells homeowner, ‘yeah I got a regular crew I that I trust’ who then brings them to work on your house. I know one such kinda neighborhood. Wealthy, lots of burglary goin on.
