Answer 1

In the short story ‘With the Photographer’, the narrator asks the photographer, ‘Is it me?’ because he is unable to recognize his own face.

Explanation:

The photographer had heavily retouched the narrator’s photograph by changing many of his facial features. As a result, the narrator could not recognize himself in the picture and asked, “Is it me?” This highlights the story’s humour and irony.
