About the work

A closer look.

Bring me one image you are not sure about: a photo someone sent you, a poster, a found historical picture, a headline image. I trace it to its real origin, the photographer, the place, the year and who holds the rights, or I show you the tells that it is a fake or an AI redraw. Read the tells first: an upscale invents. A club becomes a dotted line, a ring appears from nowhere, a beard is ironed to wax. You get a short written trace, about a page, every claim tied to a source you can check, and the dead ends named. I did exactly this in the open: a poster sold as a Che Guevara photograph turned out to be an AI redraw of Alberto Korda real 1961 negative, Che Guevara playing golf, Havana. I named the negative; the redraw went in the bin. If I cannot find solid ground, I say so and you owe nothing. Message me the image first; I tell you straight whether I can source it.
