 From the article
it would appear that
a Getty editor shares some responsibility in this.

The photographer "mistakenly" sent both straight and altered images
from the same frame.
Any decent editor should have noticed the identical pose
and taken responsibility to publish the straight version.

So - no intentional deception -
rather a careless mistake on the part of the photographer
dropping the demo frame in the wrong folder
and in hitting "send" button.

expensive mistake
