An AP photographer has been fired and banned from working for them again for removing his shadow from a photo.
Miguel Tovar was a freelancer working on assignment for AP in Argentina, covering the Copa America soccer tournament, and he submitted a series of photos of children playing the game in a dusty field — and in one of those images, he used Photoshop to clone a dust cloud over his own shadow. This clumsy editing attempt has caused the AP to come down on extremely harshly.
