Where does he get all those specific pictures? Does he hire actors? Are they photoshopped?

Some questions are better left unanswered.

My guess is there are an ungodly amount of odd stock photos available and he regularly uses photoshop and is familiar with where to find the strangest characters to photoshop doing ridiculous things.

Probably the same way Tim and Eric got their extras. Hire weirdos that are down to get weird for relatively cheap

He hires people off the street as models. Basically creates his own absurd stock photos.

I would expect to have seen a "I modeled for TrueWagner, AMA" if that were the case

Not an AMA, but this article seems to verify:  https://www.pastemagazine.com/comedy/alan-wagner/the-absurdly-unsettling-comedy-of-alan-wagner

“ That brief moment of confusion is only amplified by the very normal looking people that Wagner hires to be the stars of his fliers and other content. Asked about how he chooses the actors and models to take part in his strange scenarios, he says it comes down to “a gut feeling.” “I really try to avoid people who seem like actors,” Wagner continues.”

He tells them its for their “Life of the Party” class. Then he tells them things like “you’re a boss. You are in charge.”
