This is a thread that used to be on other forums, so I'm bringing it back to MJCC.

This is thread for everyone to know which are fake photos. If you can post the fake photo and then then the real photo, so that people can know which is the real Michael, it would be amazing. Otherwise, just post photos you know are 100% fake.

Fake and digitally altered photos are wrong. They destroy Michaels history and confuse the fan community. Fans need to know which is a real photo of Michael, so that they can know and understand the person he was.

Lets make this a thread where people can come to check if a photo they see is really Michael. Lets help out the fan community by identifying known fake photos.

MTV PUNKED Season 8 Episode 5 original USA air date May 8 2007

This is a photo of E'CASANOVA not Michael Jackson

Aspiring singer Frankie J gets a call from supposedly Michael's entourage who tells him that Michael wants to work with him..Frankie J goes to see Michael with joy and excitement...A person sitting outside Michael's room asks him if he have any gifts because Michael expects gifts from people..so Frnakie J gets worried, because he didn't bring any. Then the person offers an extra chocolate box that he brought to give to Michael. Frankie J goes inside to meet Michael and gives his assistant the box of chocolates saying it was a gift for Michael. After a few minutes the assistant comes running out saying "Michael got stomach problem from eating the chocolates he bought" "Michael" is really E'Casanova
 
Any photo which has "Gella De" written on it. This person has made a lot of fake photos, this is just one of them. Many fans get fooled by these fakes.

I believe Elena Romanenkova is an MJ impersonator. Quite often her photos pop up online with notes from MJ fans pointing out that this is not Michael.

Personally, the photos I dislike the most are the photoshopped ones bc that's just insulting to Michael. It's gross, imo. That said, some people like the 'fan fiction' aspect of some of the images. It's not for me, I'm just pointing out that I don't think people always have bad intentions. Just depends on what you like. The worst ones of all are the AI ones. They are just 🤮

For accuracy and respect for Michael I think it's best to stick to genuine photos. If you are unsure you can always give a shout-out to @Michaels Lover . She is fabulous at spotting photoshopped nonsense.

Here's another ER photo you'll see:

I believe this is also Elena Romanenkova.

Further thoughts - this picture that you shared with Mariah is a good example of what to look out for. Think about it. When have you ever seen Michael presenting himself in a photo like this? He doesn't do obvious 'sexy' stuff, he doesn't present himself in a coy fashion (as in this photo), he doesn't do any of that type of stuff. If you look at Michael's body language you'll see what I mean. He's always very relaxed, very natural, not 'trying' to be anything, he's always just himself. He does occasionally look a bit embarrassed to be the centre of so much attention. There's a lovely video clip of him slightly hiding behind his hand bc of all the attention. But his body language is always very consistent. He might sometimes look shy but never coy.

that is true, but it never crossed my mind that people would put a bunch of fake photos out on the internet. I guess I trust too much and can be easily deceived. I just thought it was Michael when he covers his mouth when he smiles, I've seen a good amount of pictures where he does that. Again, it just never occurred to me that people would mess with Michael's image through photography. But Im glad for this thread, it is helping me be more cautious with the information about michael that I consume
 
There are several images were Michael´s silver shirt from the BAD TOUR has been colored subsequently.

For example ...

I could not find the original, but here is a different photo with the same shirt (in original silver) and same pants and belt buckle

oh boy, the whole thing with the shirts! There is also a red shirt which he wore for his visit to the Gardner Elementary School but he didn't wear it for any of the 1988 BWT shows but there are photos out there of his 1988 shirt being coloured red.

(Obviously he had a red shirt for BWT 1987 but that was a different design).
