Hidden signs of a fake photo

A picture may say a thousand words, but what if the photograph has been manipulated?

Research suggests that most of us are pretty bad at spotting a hoax. In one study conducted at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, for example, participants were presented with a series of photos and asked if they had been manipulated. Some of them were not altered in any way.

Hany Farid looks at photographs in a different way. He is a leading expert in image analysis. One trick he has picked up over time is to check the points of light in people’s eyes. ‘If you have two people standing next to each other in a photograph, then we will often see the reflection of the light source (such as the sun or a camera flash) in their eyes,’ he explains. ‘ If the location, size and colour of this reflection is not the same, then the photo may be a composite.’

Another giveaway is the colour of people’s ears. ‘If the sun is behind me,my ears will look red from the front because you’ll see the blood,’ he says. ‘If the light is coming from the front, you won’t see the red in the ear.’

‘Nowadays more often than not, people think that the real images are fake and that things that are fake are real,’ says Farid. ‘And their confidence is very high.’ The solution is to turn to computers to spot the inconsistencies that humans can miss. Photographic forensics uses a battery of techniques and algorithms to identify fake photos.

So what can the rest of us do to spot those fake images circulating on the internet? Farid suggests looking at the source of the image. ‘Photos published on reputable news sites like the New York Times have a high likelihood of being real as compared to photos published on unknown media sites, blogs, or Facebook’ he says. The best course of action is often to ask yourself if a photo is simply too good to be true.
