 The elephant shot seemed strange to me but the rest seem real enough. The elephant pic could have been shot at a wild animal park with a trained elephant just for tourist photo purposes. The others all seem to have wet or wind blown dresses or hair in all the right places.

Two of the shots have lightening strikes in just the right places at just the right time and then to have no flinching by the couples seems a bit much.
It's hard enough to get a bolt any where on a frame once in a while.

I'm thinking that as you said this is big Photoshop or green screen use!

I did wonder about that...

Eric, what do you think?

The attire doesn't always seem to be reacting to the environment in some of the scenes...


My vote would be......

1 Genuine
2 Wooden elephant statue
3 Genuine
4 Think it's a combination....grass looks odd round trousers??
5 Genuine
6 Why would you do this? Combo IMHO
7 - 10 Genuine
11 Think it's a combination. Having taken autocross shots ...too hard to script....too easy to combine!
12 Think it's a poor execution of a background replacement
13 Genuine
14 Obviously digitally manipulated ...Exposure of water highlights over 1stop less than dress!!
15 Genuine
16 Genuine

For me its more about the things that HAVENT been edited that suggest to me those images are genuine. For example, no one would leave a skyscraper coming out of the brides head (no 1) if they were adding a skyline.

And...The tornado shot...why didn't he clone the road over those grey bands that break up the strong line to the horizon? So again I think this is genuine...or limited creativity.


A lot of the couples have been worked on ...so this gives the slightly over done, unreal different exposure, compared to the backgrounds.

Somewhere like Darwin at the right time of year you could pretty much gaurentee lightning. A wedding photographer there would just need a cheap lightening trigger to get the shot, flinching would come a bit later with the thunder.

Someone shooting weddings up there might have quite a portfolio to pick the best from for this collection.
