I don’t think it is staged. I think the microphones are placed for maximum exposure and publicity.
I also think Durham placed himself where he wanted to be for his best look.
I believe the cameras are set as he is walking up. He just moves right or left to center himself in the door. Shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Door to cameras.
That doesn't answer the question of why all of the faces behind Durham are perfectly framed.
This is also an HD digital photo from a camera, not video footage or video footage quality. If it were a video camera I would understand the need for a set place for Durham to approach, but it's not. This would have been easily taken by a hand held digital camera.

How would Durham know where his "best look" will be? The angle of the camera would frame him, it would not be decided by where he stands.
The microphones alone do not look off, but when you add the microphones to the list of perfectly placed items in the photo, it doesn't seem organic.
