is getting hands on with the paparazzi ... directing photographers on how to shoot him and his wife's stroll through a parking lot, and the exchange is hilarious.
TMZ obtained video of Yeezy yelling at multiple paps, telling them the proper angles -- in his mind, at least -- to use while photographing the couple leaving a Melrose Place tanning salon.
You can hear Kanye directing photogs where to stand, as he attempts to turn the back alley parking lot into his own personal set.
The takeaway -- don't dare to shoot Ye at a 45-degree angle!!!
The funny interaction between Kanye and the paparazzi went down at the same time a homeless man appeared, and at Ye and Bianca in a bizarre rant.
As we reported, Kanye and his wife seemed pretty alarmed when the guy got near their car and blocked their path.
Guess this ain't a closed set.
Anyway, it's interesting to see Kanye working closely with the paps here .
.. seeing as how he's frequently been .
Seems Kanye and photogs are starting off 2024 on the right foot -- but we'll see how long that lasts.
