I suspect that it is just a professional, and staged photoIn the picture, but it could be either the two simply agreeing to the draw, or black resigning, depending on who has the move. Both are typically followed by a handshake.

White to move is a draw.

 [FEN "8/3k4/5p2/3K1P1p/7P/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]

 1. Kc5 {The only move} Kc7 {Again the only move.} 2. Kd5 Kd7= {Both sides are forced to repeat here, and it is a draw.}

Now, black to move loses as black has to cede space, and then material.

White is not winning at all. If white is to move, it is actually lost, and only if black is to move is it still equal, but not won. This is confirmed by tablebases.
