  • A photograph of a towering block of buildings is being shared across social media with the claim that it is from Hong Kong and is as tall as it looks. The structure appears to be a very tall one, with barely any sky visible. However, we found that while the photograph is originally from Hong Kong, it is an edited picture of the Yick Cheong building. Its photographer, Tristan Zhou, partakes in urban photography and took a picture of the structure, popularly known as Monster Building in Hong Kong, and edited it to add to its height. WHAT WE FOUND OUT Using reverse image search, we found the photograph of an online art photography selling website, Yellow Korner. The photograph, titled 'Monster Building Multiplied' was attributed to one Tristan Zhou. Under a section called 'About The Artwork', the page discusses Zhou's work and talks about his openness about editing his photographs. In the case of 'Monster Building Multiplied' the website states that Zhou does not hide that he sometimes uses "the artifice of composite images" and effects. For this photograph, Zhou has magnified the size of the building by superimposing two photos. We also found Zhou's Instagram profile, where he posted the picture on 7 June 2021. In its caption, he explains, "I had this editing idea when I was sitting a my place waiting for my Uber ride in 2018." A quick search for 'Monster Building' on Google Maps leads to the Yick Cheong Building in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong and the actual size of the building can be seen through street view. The structure has been used as a set in many films, including Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction and the 2017 live-action adaptation of Ghost In The Shell. Zhou's photograph of the Monster Building in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong is mesmerising but is an edited image. (Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified?
