It was posed - look up Raphael's School of Athens in the Stanza della Segnatura (Vatican) and you'll see the "original".
These are students with whom I traveled with for 5 weeks in the summer of 2001 in Italy. This photo was to be a momento for them. They all got a print of it.
It's refreshing to find that modern recreations of old masters' paintings (fresco in this case) can still have life after hundreds of years.
