A prolific travel blogger has been accused of posting doctored
pictures of herself in beauty spots around the world.
Amelia Liana was caught out when she shared a picture of herself in New York on Instagram.
Her
followers spotted there was something amiss - her image was purportedly
taken at the top of the Rockerfeller Center in Manhattan, but the
four-year-old Freedom Tower was nowhere to be seen.
Another picture that raised questions was an image of Liana in front of the Taj Mahal in India.
Noticeable by their absence were the crowds of tourists usually seen at the tourist attraction.
Also
missing, eagle-eyed viewers spotted, was scaffolding at the side of the
landmark, and her shadow stopped at the side of the water, suggesting a
picture of her had been superimposed.
Referring
to a flock of birds in the image, one commenter wrote: 'It's actually
ridiculous how much you photoshop your content. The fact that you've
EDITED IN these birds.'
Another posted: 'This is hilarious. Do (sic) badly edited.'
The
26-year-old Londoner, who frequently posts pictures of beauty products
and merchandise such as Gucci handbags on her Instagram account - which
has nearly 450,000 followers - has been contacted for a comment.
One picture shows her sitting on a bed with a sweeping view of the
London skyline. She wrote alongside it: 'Get ready with me on my
birthday & @glamglowuk with their brand new Glow Starter & Glow
Setter'Eagle-eyed users questioned why New York's Freedom Tower was not included in the image, and analysis by The Times picture desk found the blogger's image had been superimposed over an old image of New York
