fauxtograph

In today's world of computer manipulated images, it's sometimes hard to tell reality from fake. A photograph that has been digitally altered so that it no longer reflects reality is a fauxtograph. Faux is French for "fake" or "false". Can be shortened to fauxto (pronounced foe-toe)

"Did you see that fauxtograph that's floating around the internet of a man with a duck's head?"

Fauxtoshoot

A photoshoot with an amateur model, most commonly an adult gay male, not intended for publication anywhere other than personal websites (facebook, connexion, etc). The fauxtoshoot is a way to live out an adolescent fantasy of getting "Glamour Shots" at the mall.

I unfriended him because he clogs up my news feed with the addition of random strangers and uploads from his most recent fauxtoshoot.

fauxtophobia

Cynicism brought on by the proliferation of digitally altered photographs. This causes the victim to doubt the authenticity of any impressive picture he / she sees.

The nature pictures Kirk's aunt Deann e-mailed to him were cool, but his fauxtophobia wouldn't subside enough for him to truly appreciate the beauty of the toad with a lion's body.
