A photojournalist blasted NBC for purposefully altering her photos of transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, apparently making Thomas look more feminine during a recent Today Show report.
The Today Show came under stark criticism for using photos that were noticeably softened or “airbrushed” during its March 17 report on the trans swimmer as Thomas was competing at the NCAA championships in Georgia.
Now, a photojournalist who took some of the photos is decrying NBC for altering her photos.
“I pride myself on providing authentic images as a photojournalist,” Erica Denhoff told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.
Denhoff, a student-athlete and graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, said that she agrees with critics who say NBC altered the photos and added, “It’s really important as photojournalists that we transmit authentic photos that have not been altered.
“When I first noticed the airbrushing on the segment referenced, I thought something was honestly wrong with the video. But then, I watched it again and thought, ‘Wait a minute, this appears to be intentional. Lia’s features are softened,'” Denhoff exclaimed.
Denhoff said once she learned of the criticism, she compared her actual photos to the shots used by NBC and saw a noticeable difference. Her images were softened and blurred by the TV network.

SHE—the photog—is the full package!
An airbrush used to be a real tool for taking out pimples and pubic hair. Now they just use the pubic tool in Photoshop.
There are some things so stupid , so crazy , that only an liberal could believe them.
You should make that in to one image.
Maybe they can alter his voice too. Make him sound like a real woman.
HaHa.
Maybe they can cut his winkie out of the photos too. Oh wait, he tucks his junk, doesn’t he, unless he’s in the locker room.
Show her nuts and schlong. I want to see her naked.
This photo is A LIE. NBC is LYING to its viewers.
Oh God no. Please don’t show me that. I would need eye bleach for sure, and I’m certain Laz wouldn’t hit that!
Fake News shout out to George Zimmerman.
Sorry, Erica - you're now an official System Pig.
Ironic lyrics from “Are You a Boy or are You a Girl?”
You’re either a girl or you come from Liverpool
(Yeah, Liverpool)
You can dog like a female monkey, but you swim like a stone
(Yeah, a rolling stone)
You may be a boy (Hey) you look like a girl
Hey!
With a powerful right cross he would!
Where’s the tuck?
Can’t just be a vegan, oh no. Everyone must agree a pile of puke is a hamburger.
That would work!
