Create fake travel photos using a television

Taking photos this way really goes too far for me. I call this deceiving e viewer. Moreover, you use images made by others that may be protected by copyright.

Sorry, but in my sincere opinion that is no longer photography.

Yes, it's fine, Elja. You just have to prove you're right, don't you. Then don't publish anything anymore and just go make your pictures.

Of course it is and remains fake, but I do see the challenge in doing it in such a way that it doesn't look fake. The same goes for replacing skies and even for fantasy compositing. As long as the basis is your own photographic material, I still consider it to fall under photography, no one has ever claimed that a photo must always perfectly represent the truth ...

When you take a photo in a studio where you want to tell some kind of story, you also get all kinds of props out of the cupboard. The fact that the background is digital now, instead of a roll-up background, is simply smart use of the 'materials'.

Nowadays you have countless royalty-free photographic materials, and various quality sites where photographers make material available for free, even for commercial use). Copyright is a thing, of course, but you don't have to assume that these kinds of photos were obtained improperly...
