Only 2 people landed on moon via Apollo 17, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt.

Then who took this photo of BOTH OF THEM?

It's a high res NASA photo, so you'll have to zoom in lots to see the reflection in the visor.

Their cameras were chest mounted, fixed, no viewfinder Hassleblad cameras.
So if the guy in the vest (in the reflection) was looking straight ahead, who took the photo ?

Also, doesn't the guy in the reflection look like somone pretending to be an astronaut .. when in fact he's just wearing gear that might pass as the real thing if not closely examined. I mean why wear a real spacesuit for a photo when noone will ever have the ability to zoom in.

I think there were four cameras taken on the Apollo 17 mission so this pic could easily be one taken from one of the two that werent mounted on the Astronauts chest.
