Do you have a picture that you'd like to send to a professional photo editor? Perhaps you'd like an ex-partner removed from a photograph, or maybe you wish that your hair didn't look quite so dorky in an otherwise perfect shot? Whatever you need, this guy can help with your Photoshop requests. His name is James Fridman, but we prefer to call him the King of Photoshop because as you can see from his hilariously funny photos, there seems to be nothing he can't do. He "fixes" other people's photographs on photo editing requests, but like the true professional Internet troll that he is, he only does EXACTLY as he's instructed, which is why his photo manipulations are so damn funny. Check out some of his latest trolling, and don't forget to vote for the best. You can also contact him directly through Twitter, where Fridman has over one million followers.

Now everyone in the background looks like that woman on the left in the background lmao!
I don't know James Fridman as a person (or have read anything about him) but I certainly applaud his response to these, especially about the 9 year old not wearing makeup.
Is that picture you're referring to deleted? I can't seem to see any kid wearing makeup here...
@varwenea: he's allowed to use makeup if he feels good about it. I'm very happy to see how his mother reacted to it. That's not often seen in this world. James' comment does not make justice for this kid.
passion above concern of the perception of others. It is one of the acid tests as an artist one is motivated by an inner compulsion of the creative process to do what you do, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Maybe Jonbenet Ramsey would disagree, perhaps this child is an exception and truly fulfilling his own artistry, but so is the man editing the pictures, and he does not have to acquiesce in requests that violate his sense of childhood freedom from his own unique point of understanding. She asked and he denied explaining himself, there is nothing ugly about it. Children should be allowed to be children and not pushed into anything, so he maybe erroneously assuming the child is being pushed into social conformity, nothing ugly about it, just him stating what is important to him from his perspective and why he will not do the work. They probably just had someone else do it and dismissed his comments in error, no big deal. Part of any true artists life is knowing your passions must be pursued regardless of everyone patting you on the back. I think Van Gog would testify to passion about concern of the perception of others.
The child in question is an excellent artist and he is well known for his craft. It's not 'make up' - he has a passion and will go far in his field. I suspect he will be (if not all ready) a highly sought after make up artist for movies and photo shoots among other things. I wish him a great success and I am so happy his parents are helping him with his passion and proud of him instead of saying either 'children should not wear make up" or even worse "make up is not for boys". I'm sure the child and the parents get enough judgement from ugly people without being bullied by this photoshopper as well.
I didn't get the impression that he was putting the kid (and his mother) down because he doesn't like boys wearing makeup. I know that in our "offensensitive" society, that's the conclusion too many people would jump to. I read it as him saying that no kids, boys or girls, should be wearing make up. It's too "grown-up" for them. I see his point, however, personally, I don't quite agree. If this child (or any child) has developed a passion for the art of make up, why quash it? Who knows, with practice he could, as you say, become accomplished enough to make it his career in some way.

I had the opposite response! I used to like him, but that response really left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't look any further...
You can certainly have your own opinion on this matter, but kids should have their childhood. They are not here for their parent's personal entertainment
This fellow is described as a 'True Professional', which means he does this for a living. But for the life of me, I cannot imagine anyone paying him for his services here, unless they enjoy being insulted. :O
I believe he would not make fun of paid commissions. But these look like requests, so nobody pays him for these. Maybe it all started with him getting bored of all the "I know you are a professional, but I don't really have money, so could you please do this for me for free" messages, and deciding to have some fun with them.
Nice Post, Thanks For Sharing..
