Let’s Discuss that Migrant Photo that Traveled around the World

It’s come to my attention that this photograph was thoroughly staged.

Let’s take a look at the panoramic view of it before it was analyzed and annotated.

So far, so good. At this stage, the event is still early and the photograph has not yet been checked and vetted for cheating.  The photograph is still in its early honeymoon phase.

It didn’t take long for the dirt to hit the fan though.

Okay, so here the photo’s been nabbed.

Let’s look at those areas, the far left of the woman on the front of the photo. There’s a guy with a camera standing right behind her.  Between them, in front of the photographer standing is a line of supposed “tear gas” that’s supposedly making her flee. But the photographer is standing with the camera in his hand.

Let’s blow that up a little to see some detail of that photographer on the left side of this pic.

That photographer dude isn’t bothered by those puffs of supposed tear gas that could blow back at his face and sting his professional eyes.

Now, look at the annotated photo above this one and go to the right side of the picture.  There’s photographer manipulating a camera mounted on the tripod.  I’m going to add a blow-up of that area of that picture.

Now that is a working man!

Conclusion?  This photo is not so spontaneous, is it?
