Even the blur from the lack of focus is consistent, but people can always contact photoshopdisasters or something if they're not sure.


lm no photo expert - rely on gut feeling from what l see
l opened your link and zoomed - it looks even more unreal to me now - ickes shirt looks odd
why would brands face be out of focus if hes the same distance as icke from the camera ?

something seems weird - but obviously from posts - links and videos the 2 of them did spend some time together - lm not refuting that

Looks like Icke was sitting still and the camera probably had more time to focus on him, and Brand leaned in for a quick snap. I have been using Photoshop since before Myspace. I can't remember the exact year that I started using it, just that I got my first paid clients in the Myspace era. I also have a fairly decent understanding of photography because I used to take stock photos for my photo manips too. It just looks like a shit shot to be honest.

The likes of Brand are not 'awakening normies' though, in my opinion.

 

There will be of course a great number of people who suspect that "something's wrong" and would like to learn more - but then Brand et al will just end up leading people off in a different direction. Towards the "third way" proposed by the technocrats manipulating people using the Hegelian Dialectic principle.

 

Why is Social Media the modern day Pied Piper?

Don't get me wrong, there are some great photo manipulations out there, but if it is fake then it's a good one. I remember doing mixtape design, and often I would get some musician just sending me a headshot and telling me to work with it. Often I would have to put their head on someone elses body and make sure that it's all blended well. This is a pretty common thing for clients on a budget, even with some of the biggest mixtape designers like Kid Eight and Skrilla etc.

 

Not that it really matters to me if Russell and David were in a photo together, but just giving my 2 cents.

My thoughts too, but EW's explanation sounds reasonable. I take crap photos anyway, so I am clueless!

That's why my post count on this forum is so high, because I'm often working on something and have this forum open on my second monitor. Not that I do much these days though, I'm too depressed and living off savings and inheritance. I mainly just work on my own hobby game dev project now. 🤣

A member suggested the photo may have been taken at the Fabian Society. The location doesn't look like the interior rooms

of the Fabian Society. Too grand. Online research claims it was taken at the Groucho Club.  Again the location doesn't fit with the

style of the Groucho Club either, imo

 

I believe to photo to be real, but I don't know the location. In 2013 David Icke appeared twice on the BrandX show and on

one occassion Icke and Brand seem to be wearing the same clothes as depicted in the much talked about photo,

so they could well have met up somewhere before the show or after. My two cents!

Good detective work, well spotted. Icke seems like quite a polite chap, that is willing to ignore his differences with people as long as he can speak and get his word out.

That's what I believe has happened. If you look at the highlights in Brand's eyes they are a longer 'streak' than those in Icke's eyes suggesting some motion blur occurred due to Brand moving slightly during the image capture.
