This is an interesting photo, Ryewolf. Has me wondering what he's up to and why you titled it Post-modern Photographer??

I'm not convinced.

Clearly it is meant to be a press camera of the 1940's, and the size says sheet film not 6×9 roll film (e.g. Mamiya Press). So, something like a Graflex, but those were folding cameras and while they did have a viewfinder, it was on the side or the top, not through the body. Also that body is big enough for 10×8, and to the best of my knowledge by that time press photographers on the hoof tended to stick to 5×4 and smaller.

So nice photo, but a fail for the props department, I would have thought the could have got hold of a real LF press camera, they're not rare.

He was photographing people in 1940's clothing in front of some old cars.

Thanks James, the box actually holds a modern digital camera, which is why he's looking through the rear.

Aha ... a bit of  artistic license methinks ....
