If you have been directed to this page by another photographer or you have seen this logo displayed on another artist work, it means that the image you have seen has been created by combining 2 or more images together digitally to ensure baby's safety.  The Photographer wants you to know that this image was created safely and that no baby was put into a dangerous position during the creation process. They also want to ensure that for those wanting to recreate a similar image or style, to not do so without further investigation into how to do it safely. 

Why was the logo created?

The Digitally Altered™ Logo is a safety initiative created for Photographers (specifically Newborn Photographers) to easily mark and identify images that have been digitally enhanced, altered, combined or stitched together in post production to create imagery that would otherwise would be unsafe to reproduce straight out of camera.

Placing this emblem on your manipulated images will allow newcomers to the industry, parents and creators alike to understand that the image/s they are viewing requires further investigation into it's creation process before trying to replicate it on a real infant. 

We also recommend using the hashtag #DigitallyAltered

Note: Images that should be created via composition and therefore display the Digitally Altered™ logo include: Froggy, Potato Sack and any image depicting an infant that is suspended or balancing.
