Hilarious photos of family teasing son about staying out of his room while he's away

I don’t get why they would photoshop this scene in the first place. They have to take the picture of themselves somewhere - why not do it in the bedroom? Why take the picture somewhere else, and then photoshop themselves into it?

That aside, if this picture is photoshopped, they clearly have done all those things you mentioned - and fairly well, too. The figures are reflecting in the floor. The shadows cast by the light coming in from the window radiate away from the window - the dancers, who are to the side, cast their shadows back and to the right. Grandpa, sitting directly in front of the window, is casting a much more diffuse shadow to the lower right. The characters all seem in scale to each other, and to their surroundings. The perspective is a little flat, but that’s easily a function of the lens settings as anything else.

The feet look to me like they’re not really touching the floor or about to touch the floor in a natural way. And it looks like pictures they already had, not that they posed for them especially. For the polka picture, at the very least - apparently the painting one was definitely done in the room and presumably others too (like the camp-out one, I’d say).

I don’t understand this at all. In what way is the room to small to encompass the characters we see in the room? And how do we know how much space the cameraman has, if we can’t see the fourth wall of the room?

Do we not see the room in other pictures then? I could have sworn we did, and that’s where I got the idea that it’s not a very big room. You could fit the people in there, but not the cameraman at the right angle too.

The mother has said that some was photoshopped and some wasn’t. That’s what I’m saying too. Given that I’m agreeing with someone who took the pictures, I’m not sure where there’s room for argument.

His mom’s kinda hot.

Agreed. Looks a bit like Alyson Hannigan.

Then how did they get the backgrounds? The camera would have to be in the same position regardless of whether there are people in the room or not.
