Lees en luister mee. How does Hany spot a fake photo?
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.’
