In person he saw them as normal humans but through his camera lens they were only shadows draping themselves over the tables and chairs in his classroom. This meant one of two things, both left an unpleasant feeling in the back of his mind.
These things were as follows:
1. They were not, and had never been, people. He had been hallucinating them as such or they were influencing his mind to perceive them as such and whatever plans they might have among humans, they needed at least him to treat them as normally as possible.
2. They were in fact normal humans and he was losing his damned marbles.
If it were the first he'd begin to wonder just how many others weren't human and if even he was human. He might end up wandering the town with his camera held up like a pair of glasses, enabling him to see hat was truly there and inevitably isolating him from everyone he'd ever known as they all turned out to be nothing more than shadows among man.
If it were the second he might continue to spiral ever outward and away from sanity until he wasn't recognisable as much more than another rambling figure out by the docks, staring out at the sea and swearing all the fish had once been townsfolk.
