> The photographer clearly states in her website that all of her photos are edited in some way or another (see 'Disclaimer'):

Nevertheless, on https://kittiyapawlowski.com/snow-leopard-series there is no mention whatsoever that images are fake collages.

Images are highly misleading, no actual snow leopards are in places like this.

Also, even disclaimer is misleading and not making clear that many images are heavily faked. Not just colour balanced but altogether merge of multiple different photos.

That is just lying from side of that artist ("photographer" is misleading here).



Note: disclaimer is now linked in a tiny banner. It used to be not linked before.

Note also https://web.archive.org/web/20221127122923mp_/https://kittiy... selling fake collages as "Photography by Kittiya Pawlowski"

Footer has also

I wonder if it is also because she didn’t receive any formal education in art (as per her website) , so she is highly oblivious to some ways things are done.

At the same time she tries to appear as if she is some celebrated artist (mentioned by National Geographic etc.)

She seems to be have chosen ambiguity as her mode of communication which is troublesome.
