Article Summary:

PetaPixel has published a story stating that Terje Helleso, a nature photographer named as the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency Nature Photographer of the Year in 2010 was recently discovered to have published multiple images in which stock photographs of animals were added into nature scenes using software.

The manipulations came to light when conservationist Gunnar Gloerson noticed that one of Helleso’s photographs of a lynx showed the cat with winter fur, even though the photo was supposedly taken around July. He was also suspicious of Helleso’s claim over the numbers of lynx that he had seen.
