How a photographer who shot one so would be viewed? (2,1,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
in a bad light
'viewed?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'how a photographer who shot one so would' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'li' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'li' is located in the answer.
'would' could be 'd' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'd' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for in a bad light that I've seen is " (Seen) unfavourably".)
